Remove spent flowers to encourage plants to produce more blooms. In gardeners’ parlance this is “deadheading.” The goal of a plant is to grow, flower, set seed and die. Deadheading prevents the plant from setting seed so the plant will produce more flowers to again try to set seed before it, theoretically, dies.

About Bunny Chafowitz

Bunny Attacked by Morning Glory

Bunny Chafowitz hops around Fresno County, California, where she is (among other things) a Master Gardener.

She also loves to cook — and anyone who has eaten her food can tell you one taste of her cooking will have you thumpin' for more.

When not being attacked by Morning Glory, Bunny writes primarily about her gardening activities, but will also include posts about her cooking.
