5. Step-by-Step Guide to Properly Deadhead Petunias
Identify spent flowers: Look for wilted or faded blooms.
Locate the base of the flower: Follow the stem to where the flower meets the main stem or a leaf node.
Use your tool: Make a clean cut just above the leaf node or main stem, removing the entire flower and seed pod.
Dispose of debris: Collect spent flowers and seed pods to keep the area clean.
Repeat regularly: Check every few days to maintain continuous blooms.
6. The Role of Weather and Season in Deadheading
Hot and dry weather: Flowers wilt faster, requiring more frequent deadheading.
Cooler, wetter weather: Blooms last longer and may need less frequent attention.
Seasonal timing: Early spring requires less deadheading, while summer demands more consistent care.
