Gaillardia question

I managed to grow lots of Gaillardia (blanket flowers) from seed last year and loved how they brightened up my garden.

As most of my perennials are herbacious, I normally just leave everything to it over winter.

I have noticed today that the Gaillardia are begin to flower again, however they look very untidy and overgrown, rather than being stood up, they are lying down and spreading all over the garden iyswim.

They also look very woody, so I am wondering if I should have cut them back and if so, how much etc?

If this is the case, is there anyway that I can rescue them now? Or should I wait until summer is over and then carry out what is necessary?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
