This week is all about deadheading - why & how to deadhead to keep your flowers flourishing!
Why do we deadhead? Looks tidier, helps keep plants healthy and can prolong the flowering period.
How to deadhead? Hand pinch or use secateurs. Cut just above the next set of leaves or nodes.

What to deadhead? Keith and Elisabeth share their list with some extra tips. Keith advisse that some (like agapanthus), should be deadheaded to avoid self-seeding and spreading.

What NOT to deadhead? Annuals and bi-annuals can be left to go to seed. Others (like those in the wildflower episode), may be left to seed for Autumn germination.
