There's no denying that deadheading is an important task for gardeners, especially if you want to encourage further growth and new blooms. But it isn't always necessary to deadhead every fading flower in your yard. In fact, experts say that leaving some fading flowers can be better for your garden - both aesthetically and for further growth.
Getting rid of absolutely everything is actually considered a deadheading mistake, as you could be limiting the growth in your garden. Likewise, removing fading flowers before they go to seed prevents you from taking advantage of seed heads for ornamental fall and winter interest or for collecting seeds.
