Gardening Tip for Flowers: Deadheading

Deadheading is the process of removing spent flowers from your plants. This not only improves the overall appearance of your flower beds, but it also promotes new growth and prolongs the blooming period. Regular deadheading prevents the plants from producing seeds, allowing them to redirect energy into producing more blooms. This technique is particularly important for annuals and perennials that have a tendency to self-seed.
