Expert Response

Thank you for your question, Murray. You can prune off just the spent blooms--no further down the stem, because it allows water to escape through the wound. This is a stressor that may lead to plant death. Here are some more recommendations: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/news/tips-gardening-extreme-heat

Good luck!
