Please see attached photos. We planted Gayfeather (Liatris Spicata) for the first time. After a hot spell, some of the flower stalks appear to show flowers that were going to open but dried before they had a chance - I'm pretty sure those flowers won't bloom. In the photos those flowers that were about to open appear beige-brown. Do I cut those sections off? Do I cut off the plant right below these?
