Learning how to deadhead plants is a simple enough task but one that holds great significance. If you're unfamiliar with the word, it's the process of removing any withered and dead blooms – and it has more than one benefit for your garden.

But it also encourages new blooms to form, often leading to a prolonged display. Plus, it prevents flowers from self-seeding, which stops them from spreading into areas you may not want them.
