Cutting back is more of a personal choice, I usually leave above foliage to help trap snow to the plants for winter moisture. Phlox are pretty good about multtipling, if ya wanna speed up the process can clip back tops and sink in potting mix to root. Could cut stalks into peices, just make sure which end is up on each peice. Also phlox can be increased from division and or root cuttings (cut root pieces from mother plant and lay on side in hole. Also if dug and moved many of the roots left in the ground will sprout, Got dozens of new David phlox this year from doing such. And the seeds may sprout and grow for you. Good Luck. Kathy.
