You'll be fine. Don't you remove the flowering stems?

Yes - but these leapt up behind our backs overnight in a couple of

They're hoping you notice how beautiful they are in flower :-)

I have to admit I have never seen that. As soon as I see a flower bud I
pick it off

Try leaving one to see. I think the appropriate buzzword is
'architectural', and if you cut it down before it sets seed, then the
plant hasn't wasted too much energy.

I might just do that. I split the plant this spring and the stalks are
quite thin so I will not be pulling any this year
