My Showy pink primrose has already bloomed. Do I need to cut it back? If I do will I get a secondary bloom? I'd like to cut it back to make the area look better.

Thanks

After the first bloom is finished mow or shear the area high (about 5") and get a second bloom that takes over until the fall. After that mow to 3" and wait again for the spring bloom.
