can I prune Green Coneflower in order to stimulate more flowers?

This is my first year with green coneflowers so I'm not sure how much longer their growing season is but....most of the flowers that were on there are pretty 'spent'....all their petals are gone. Is there such a thing as pruning this plant, say just below a joint that produced a flower, in order to stimulate the growth of additional/new flower-producing stems for this season?

And if so, and I want the self-seeding to proliferate, would I take any of the spent flowers that I DID cut off, and leave them on the ground so that the seedheads can dry up and spread themselves as they normally would later in the year?

Tx!
