Personally, l would just give it a light trim as opposed to cutting it right back. If it's anything like the one in my MIL's garden, it should be flowering again in a short space of time
I think it might be having things a bit easy. That border looks quite lush and green so plenty of food and water, but maybe not enough sun, and nowhere to go. Mine grow in poor soil on top of a south facing drystone wall. Their foliage stays tight and compact and they trail right down the face of the wall, soaking up the sun and flower nearly all summer.
Be a bit mean to it, even try it in a large terracotta pot with gritty compost, so it can hang over the edges and it might surprise you
My lushness is totally out of control at the moment, despite me working 8 hours and longer nearly every day!
It has grown so fast since June began and there were so many jobs left undone from April and May. I've purloined a builders' bag and I could fill it in a day with very little effort, the stuff is waist high or more. Whole areas of the garden have disappeared into uniform weediness, but it still somehow manages to look lovely.
I was watching Brian Cox explaining life, the universe and everything and have decided that mine must be a low entropy garden because the plants re-arrange themselves and it doesn't really matter. The only critical thing is to keep some of the grass short. It defines it as a garden and gives me somewhere to walk without needing a machete!

Weeding in progress😊
Lush. Sounds much better than weedy😏
