I had some buy it died. I wanted it for the same reason but it seems like more of a wild flower. I like mine compact and tidy. LOL.
On my established plants I leave the seed heads on through the winter for the birds to eat. But the new ones need to focus on their roots.
Pica Bella is my strongest, the stems are very strong and flowers are very sturdy too. Mine is two feet tall and 18 inches wide.
