Many gardeners find deadheading enjoyable and relaxing. Deadheading allows you to stay in contact with your garden beds. Deadheading is a maintenance practice that can be done throughout the growing season. Spending a short time in the garden each day will make the deadheading task much easier. Get in the habit of evaluating your garden frequently to determine if there are any deadheading needs. The deadheading process redirects plants energy from seed production to root and vegetative growth. When dead blooms are left clinging to flowering plants, they sap the nutrition and strength from the core of the plants and rob them of the energy to produce new and colorful blooms. Deadheading is an important task to keep up with in the garden throughout the growing season because it results in healthier plants and continual blooms. Snapping or cutting dead flower heads can enhance the flowering performance of many plants. Most flowers lose their attraction as they fade. Weather also greatly affects a flower's longevity as torrential rains and unseasonably hot weather can take their toll on blooms. This can range from a day to several weeks, depending on the species. The frequency of deadheading a particular plant depends on the life span of its blooms. The best time to deadhead a flower is when its appearance begins to decline. Always check plants carefully to be sure that no flower buds are hiding amid the faded blooms before you shear off the top of the plant. As blooms fade, pinch or cut off the flower stems below the spent flowers and just above the first set of full, healthy leaves.
