Pruning Perennial Plants Question

Hello,
I grew some perennial plants this year , one of which is "Coryopsis
Lanceolata Sterntaler" which is still in flower.
When and how should I prune this plant. Should I cut just the stems down, or
cut the whole plant down to ground level ?
Dead head it to prolong flowering, though this is a long flowering one
anyway. After it's finished flowering, remove dead stems to tidy it if
you want to, after it has died back naturally.
Sorry about my ignorance.
Don't be. *Everyone* is ignorant about something. ;-))
