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!
