Do you trim the flowers off or are you a leaver on?
Some say best to cut them off as they weaken the plant, but some of them are very nice flowers

I leave them on too. I've not noticed the plants weakening, they seem to get better every year.

I also leave them on. They are lovely to look at and a beautiful shade. I don't think they weaken the plant. Mine are thriving.
