I have tritoma in my garden but I don't know what to do after they bloom. Do I cut off the stalk or do I pinch the top off so it will bloom again? All I know about them is that they are beautiful

Hi!
antanda
Welcome to the forum
After mine has bloomed I just cut the stalks back. I don't know if they will rebloom if pinched back or not. If you want seeds then leave the stalks alone to let the seeds form.

I planted one last year at my house, and one at my parents'. Neither one had a second bloom, and neither one returned this year. Disappointed, so I guess we won't be growing that plant again...

I leave mine alone and they come back next year. Mine only bloom one time a season.
