Leave it, attracts loads of bees.

Thanks Weatherwise-- we seem to have attracted lots of bees to the garden this year

I dont think I've ever seen one in flower....

They do attract the bees but smell horrible ! Have just cut off last years hefty bunches.

Yes I agree Shirley, they dont smell great!

Weatherwise - thanks, that's interesting!

thanks all for your comments they're not too near the house so I'll leave them and see

You might want to cut the old stalks after their done blooming, Pam, just so they don't interfere with the new crown(s) forming.

thanks Tug, I wondered if it would affect the plant in any way
