Stokesia Blue Bell spreading out too much

I don't know why but the stokesia steams just droop and spread too wide. I tried tying it up and it started dying a bit so I untied it. I'm not sure what to do.

    @punnypunnzrSJbgPWu I just wondered if you have feed it too much? Not easy to grow so you should be pleased.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Is it growing in the ground?  If so, next year you can put in some sort of support (twigs, perhaps) before it grows floppy.  Once it's tall enough you won't be able to see the supports.  If you prefer you can use bought supports - you could have a look on line at what's available.  
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
