All Non-Fruiting Plants – If you see flower buds or flowers on a plant that is being grown for its leaves, not its fruit or flowers, remove them..

Cut flowering stem just above a set of leaves, no more than 1/3 of the way down stem..This will ex- tend the life and produc- tivity of the plant..

Flowers – To keep flowering plants (such as petunias) full of blossoms, remove old flowers, a process known as “deadheading”..

Pinch off entire flower blossom with fingers or cut with scissors.. If pos- sible, cut flower stem too..

HELPFUL HINT: Deadhead your flowers as they start to fade to avoid accidentally pinching off unopened blossoms. At a quick glance, flower buds can look a bit like dead blossoms (see below).
