Well, if they are anything like mine, they are flopping out over the path, and whenever I brush past them and it's been raining (like, all the time) it soaks my trousers.

I'll take the secateaurs to some of the most protruding leaves, and can't see that will do the plant any harm. I wouldn't scalp them, though, Andyc.
