Remove Dead Flower Blossoms – Deadheading

How often you’ll need to deadhead depends on what’s growing in your Garden.. Some plants have short-lived blossoms that last less than a week, such as Mimulus and Dianthus.. Others, such as Marigolds, have blossoms that remain attractive for weeks..Your eye is the best judge of when to deadhead..
