Thanks for watching! With our rhododendrons (and Lars has a lot of them at his work), we find that removing the faded flowers from evergreen and deciduous azaleas is unnecessary. The flowers fall away and leave the seed-heads... these rarely affect the new growth which is produced after flowering. You can simple pinch off the spent flowers if you want... but from our experience, it's too much work and not really necessary. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your video on deadheading. I have a situation I would love to know your opinion about. I have a berm on which I planted 4 blanket flower plants. I planted them on the side of the berm, and they grew to be enormous! They then began to split at the base. Deadheading helped but quickly needed to be deadheaded again and heavy laden. Nothing broke off, but it looks unsightly and might break off. They have gone to seed. Should I cut them to the ground? I am in coastal North Carolina USA, zone 8b.
@perennial-garden
Ай бұрын
They are short-lived perennials... so if you've had them for 2 years, they might just be finishing up for you. You could divide them... just dig up the roots and divide it with a spade. Or you can collect the seeds and grow some new ones for next year. The one I show in the video is 2 years old, too --- and it's starting to split and have a very empty middle. We'll leave it for next year, but we also grow more from seed knowing that we might have to replace it.

My own hostas are usually all eaten up by an armada of snails, especially during this summer. And there is a bug called "Dickmaulrüssler" at almost every plant doing its devastatious job. Do you have a good tip for these problems?
@perennial-garden

Thank you for loving our hostas :) We've had crazy snails and slugs this year, too. My goodness -- the worst we ever had them. Our hostas have been really lucky this year -- the ones in pots are generally always safe because it's easy for us to check those in the morning and evenings. Our new flower bed of hostas (it's a small area with only hostas) is also easy to check. I guss if we had a 'trick' it would be that we keep them quite separate from other plants and all together -- making it easier for us to manually check for slugs and snails every morning and night. (And we do that most days... doesn't take long. And really only needed after a rain or when the weather has been cooler.)

Lovely garden. How to keep lobelia growing all summer is my problem. I water fertilize allow dry and still no luck. Please help. Do I deadhead lobelia? Ty... Kind Regards..Mari
@perennial-garden
2 күн бұрын
Hmmm... Lobelia does prefer cooler temperatures and can struggle in the heat, so planting in a location with partial shade can help it thrive during the hottest months. Ensure the soil is consistently moist but well-drained, as lobelia doesn’t tolerate dry conditions well. Deadheading, or removing spent flowers, can encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from going to seed too early. Regular feeding with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks can also promote healthy growth and flowering. If your lobelia begins to look leggy or tired, a mid-season trim can rejuvenate the plants and encourage fresh growth. If all that fails... it could just be the heat! Not sure if you've had a lot of that... we're having a really hot spell right now and plants are reacting to it. sighhhhh

Thanks for useful knowledge. How about (Aquilegia) - should I have deadheaded mine? They have already seeded, but for next year?

To us, it isn't necessary to deadhead columbines. The spent flower petals will drop off and you'll see a seedpod forming. With those we focus more on the seeds and collecting those (or letting them self seed) than we do with prolonging their flowering.

Excellent video. What kind of Felco snips do you use? Do you sharpen the blades or replace them when they get dull?

The snips we use are... gosh... I don't even know the brand. They were from the local gardening supply store -- nothing fancy. We do LOVE DeWit gardening tools... and even have a cooperation with them on Lars Instagram. But we don't have snips from them. (Maybe I should order some for next season tho!) As for when they get dull, we sharpen them. :)

If you wait until all the color is gone in the bloom, is that too late to deadhead? Would that trigger to the plant that it’s done blooming and ready to make seed?
@perennial-garden
Ай бұрын
Great question! If you wait until all the color is gone from the bloom before deadheading, it is not necessarily too late to do so, but it is less optimal. Here’s why: Once a bloom starts to fade and loses its color, the plant begins to shift its energy towards seed production. This process starts when the bloom begins to fade, not necessarily when all color is gone. However, removing the spent blooms before seed formation is complete can still redirect the plant's energy back to producing more flowers. The best time to deadhead is right after the blooms start to fade but before they fully wither and go to seed. This encourages the plant to produce more flowers and prevents it from entering its seed-producing phase too early. Hope that helps! But... I often miss a few and find seed heads in something like the Blanket Flower (with all of its flowers). As long as you get most of them, the plant keeps producing :)

We do deadhead those daisies... altho, to be honest, we don't think it really affects the flowering that much. We do it mainly for the look -- not for more flowers.

Very helpful. When my tall phlox first look like the flower is finished, rather than cut the stem, I gently pull off the floppy flowerettes. They look like melting marshmallows. There is a second layer underneath that then gets to come up but I used to miss it because I chopped the whole stem off. After that second flowering I then cut the stem and the side stems grow up. Try it and see if you have same thing.

Love the garden? Would you deadhead Stachys “Hummelo”?
@perennial-garden
23 күн бұрын
Yes and no. I would treat it like we do our salvias and deadhead it all at once after its first flowering. Instead of deadheading it daily, like the Blanket Flower (for example). You will probably get a second flush of blooms this way. You can of course deadhead it daily as the flowers get spent... but chances are it'll be easier to do them all at once as that first flowering will end all at about the same time.

@perennial-garden

I stop when I start to see the number of new blooms slowing down. The plant will reach its lifecycle and stop producing. For us, we'll stop deadheading here in September and let the plants naturally go to seed. That gives us time for the seeds to 'ripen' and dry on the plant before we collect.

We also use verbena in our vases, too --- altho, we don't generally cut flowers to bring indoors, we like them in the garden :)

Obedient plants can be deadheaded when the bloom is dried out/dead. Prune down to the end of the bloom where the leaves begin. Often this will allow the plant to continue blooming. :)

Do you deadhead clematis?
@perennial-garden
12 күн бұрын
Deadheading clematis is not typically necessary, but it can be beneficial depending on what you're looking for. If you deadhead, it can encourage some clematis varieties to produce more blooms, especially the smaller-flowered types. However, many clematis will naturally bloom just once per season, so deadheading won't necessarily lead to more flowers. Additionally, if you leave the spent flowers on the plant, they can produce attractive seed heads that add interest to the garden. These seed heads can be quite ornamental for winter interest. So, whether or not to deadhead clematis is up to you-do it if you prefer a tidier look or want to encourage a possible second bloom, or skip it if you enjoy the seed heads and want to let the plant follow its natural cycle. We aren't growing any this season... but typically, we never deadhead ours.
