    Hi folks, I made the mistake of ordering from Sarah Raven. Bought some 9cm pots of agastache. They look like trailing plants. Stems about 6-8inches. Should I cut them back to a few inches, or just leave them?

    (Hello all you exGW folks by the way. I used to be Supernoodle.)

    Personally I would scoop them up and support them with a stake (cane) and string. Don't truss them too tightly but see what effect that has. It might be worth cutting them back slightly to encourage them to bush out.
    Others may beg to differ though.
