I don't know why Cordenny's husband wants to trim them, but I know why I do, and I appreciate the trimming info. Our landscaper put one of ours in entirely the wrong spot. It's right next to the driveway and spews dead blooms all day long which stain the driveway, especially when my husband drives over them. I did not retire to pluck blooms off the ground all day long so nobody will drive over them.

The other one is on the other corner of the house, and it has mushroomed into the tree next to it.

Note to new Floridians: stuff grows like a weed here. Plant sparingly and far apart.
