cut them back and get yourself a garden grid and put over it. They'll grow
back and thru the grid and bloom a second time. They're perennials. I've
already cut mine back but if you don't they'll seed in other places in your
yard or garden and you can lift them come spring when they come up to a
different spot.

I have a dark blue one, a lighter blue one, once that is white with blush
blue and blue stamens that had the name of Mystic Blue's, and a shocking
magenta pink one that reseeded in a totally different spot where the
original clump was.

Easy to take care of. Garden grids? Lowes or Home Depot for $3.19 each with
three legs on the circle grid and green. Love those things.

We recently moved into a new home and discovered that we have 4 spider
wort plants. We never had these before and do not know how to care for

them.
When we moved in they were about 6" tall and now they are 24"tall. They

have
fallen over due to the weight. They continue to bloom beautiful blue

flowers
each morning and close at night. Come this fall what steps need to be

taken.
Do you cut them back or let nature take its course?
