Deadheading

To "deadhead" means to remove old flower blooms. This helps tidy up plants and makes room for second blooms. Many of our favorite plants bloom repeatedly including petunias, daisies, echinacea, and more. Snip off the old flowers during the growing season as desired but be sure to leave some seed heads in fall for winter wildlife including birds.
