Petunias do wonderfully if you deadhead regularly by pinching back. I’ve had a garden for 30 years and have managed to not have dallies until this year because they are one flower I simply do not enjoy at all but now, since I was gifted several I’m going to be forced to deal with them, therefore I’m quite glad you mentioned they could be deadheaded - I didn’t know that!

Thank you

I've just started deadheading more. It's worth the effort. Sweet peas are one that must be dead headed!! Of course, we could just get out there and make bouquets more often. Something I always mean to do, but..

Sometimes it's nice to leave some spent blooms on roses so you have rose hips in the winter for some quick easy rose hip tea.

Good tip is to use scissors instead of pruners for easy deadheading. Makes the job easier so you don’t mind doing it.

Thank you for this video. If you didn't have a secateurs handy, could you just pull off the dead heads or is it preferable to leave a clean cut. Tks

Thanks for this. I am puzzled about what to do with the deadheaded blooms. Is it ok to just let them drop on the flower bed? I can't compost them in my small garden.

What about coneflowers? I’d like to extend the bloom as long as possible but I know the birds like the seeds heads so I’m not sure what to do.

Does this work for a Lavender tree? I'm new to outdoor plants/flowers. I have many old faded blooms and a few new blooms coming in. Thank you

Use my nails, and snipping movement on softer stems.
