Carol....It will keep them blooming and looking prettier
thank you I thought I had read somewhere it wasn't necessary but does make sense to do it
Typically you deadhead any flowering plant. Promotes more blooms!
it will increase blooms,keeps plants bushier but then they will not produce any seeds. I do both so I have seeds to replant or let them fall onto ground in that area(if you want them there again)
Hi Carol, Pinch back to a side shoot if there is already more than one branch from the root. If there is only one growing stem, pinch back a few inches from the ground, leaving necessary leaves to feed the new growth...then feed it with a fertilizer for blooms. It should then form other branches and produce a mound of flowers rather than on long stem.
