Default Spindly Stock - of the Night Scented variety

Given that I only really grow it for that heavenly scent, my NSS usually reaches about 10-12" and then always falls over and ends up growing horizontally! Like I said, looks aren't that important, but I would like a denser clump so that I can grow it in pots that I can place at open doors/windows etc. Is there a way to achieve this? Should I cut it back to promote more shoots or is that just the way it grows? (I'm hesitant to trim it as I'm always so eager to get those little buds open and have that wondrous fragrance in the air! He-he-he!)

If you mix the night scented stock seed with virginia stock seed you will have colour and scent night and day and one will support tuther!
