OK, you have a flower garden. They want striking colors all summer because they love the appearance of all these flowers that gently weigh themselves in the wind. Your plants, on the other hand, are interested in growing and setting as quickly as possible so that you can immortalize the species. Interrupt evolution by destroying your flower garden!

deadheading removed flowers from their one -year flowers, but it does so much more: removing additional stems and growth promotes new, robust growth and a new flower. It also opens the plant for air circulation, which reduces insect problems and moisture that can cause putrefaction or virus infections. Help your flowers by cutting this "split" when the flowers start fading!

  1. Please don't wait until death. Why have a flower garden if you don't enjoy its beauty every day? When you are busy, go to your garden at least weekly to enjoy it and take care of him. If you wait until you cut off the faded flowers, your plants may not feel like blooming again so that your garden cannot exhaust his full potential.
  2. Always use a sharp, clean scissors or scissors to remove your head. Some of us have sharp fingernails ... Some of us sometimes miss a clean cut with the fingernails. Your scissors should be sharp and rinse after each use. Dry them off thoroughly before clearing them away.
  3. If only one of your flowers has faded, just cut it off. Schnip! Everything done.
  4. When your plants bloom in tufts, score all the faded grape away from the root about a third. In other words, when your lion mouths are about 16 inches long, do everything that is about 6 inches from the root. If your daisies are 30 inches tall, cut them up to about 10 inches. And so on.
  5. haircuts are healthy! Your one -year -old flowers appreciate that you lose all of this additional weight and you will come back. Be patiently, because it takes a week or two, but your plants will reward you.
  6. Give your one-year-old a dash of nutrients (balanced fertilizer like Miracle-Gro) when you cut your hair.
  7. go to the goodwill shop, invest 50 cents in a bud vase and enjoy long-stemmed flowers before withered. A perfect daisy on the dining table is wonderful. Let smaller or short -stemmed flowers float in a simple glass bowl. You last several days - if you can keep the cats away from you!
  8. Note this advice: you have to dive into the plant, not only by cutting the flower. Grab it in and find the lower part of the flower stem, be it a knot, a branch or even further towards the root. Cut off the faded flower there so that it blooms again faster.

    9. It is unlikely that you will kill your plants by dying, even though you could look lean for a few days. Stay on the careful side until you have gained experience. Deadheading in the late season only makes your garden properly and prepares for the winter ... You will not get any further bloom if it is too late in your vegetation period.

    For perennial breeders there are a few lists of plants that can benefit from the uprooting or they do not really need. Most of these plants are several years in Minnesota. Some perennials will bloom again, others will not, but they should still maintain them as required.
