Answer #2
you should nip them off at the base if only to keep the plant looking neat.
Having said that, I always leave mine on and find that I'm having to remove the
dried stems when the plant wakens after its winter's sleep.

Answer #3
I planted one two years ago and left the flowers when they wilted. The following
spring i had to cut them off. Last year I cut off the dead flowers and the bush
seemed to get a second "wind" of flowers. So I suppose cutting off the flowers
is the best thing to do. But I am not a qualified gardener, just learnt this
from trial and error.
