    I would just remove the pods - the plants are quite nice.  If you remove the flower heads after they die next year, there'll be no seed pods. image

    Is it likely that the dog would try and eat them?

    He calls her the chocolate girl
    Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
    She knows she's the chocolate girl
    Cause she's broken up and swallowed
    And wrapped in bits of silver

    Possible. Will keep the plants then. Thanks for all your advice.
