We recently bought a Lobelia Queen Victoria and was advised by the
nurseryman to cut it down to ground level after flowering to encourage
regrowth.
But upon reflection did he mean cut the leaves and all, or just the

And does this apply to all perennials ?

Just the flower spikes. In autumn, it will die down naturally, so let it do
that and then it will pop up again next year.
