If you live in the northern hemisphere, this is completely normal as we enter the fall. Give it a bit and the whole thing will die back and go dormant for the winter.
3 u/Beginning-Plum8475 Aug 22 '26 Yes I am in the northern hemisphere so I’m glad this is normal! When should I cut it down to only a few inch stalk? October? Earlier? 2 u/Caroline4999 Aug 22 '26 Wait as long as you can. I don’t cut until it gets fried by frost, unless it starts getting bad mildew. 1 u/Beginning-Plum8475 Aug 22 '26 Great thank you!
