Deadheading

More flowers, for longer.

3 min read

Removing faded flowers stops plants from making seed and encourages many to keep blooming.

How

  • Pinch or snip off faded flowers just above a leaf or bud
  • Deadhead annuals often for nonstop color
  • Leave some seed heads in fall for birds
  • Some plants don't need deadheading, such as many impatiens
