You should trim your plant as each flower starts to wilt. Use sharp shears to cut off the wilting flower. Make sure you make a clean cut. Hopefully, this well ensure regrowth for 3-4 more years. After the season is over you can prune the entire stem down to the second node.

Very carefully, these plants are very delicate and can die very easily. You can try trimming off the parts of the plant that has already bloomed, just an inch or so below the dead bloom.
