If you've been wondering how often you should deadhead plants, you're not alone. This essential gardening task can feel overwhelming, especially when you're faced with a garden full of blooming flowers that seem to fade at different rates. The good news? It's actually quite hard to get it wrong.
According to garden experts, it's not really possible to deadhead plants too often, but you can definitely deadhead too little - and miss out on the benefits of healthier plants and more flowers as a result. Like knowing the difference between pruning and deadheading, understanding that different types of plants have different deadheading needs is key to getting the most out of your garden's blooms.
