[@PowertotheFlower]

Sherry Panuco-Grantham that’s kinda what I was thinking when I started this! Our zone is kinda special!! 😂🤩😍🙌🏼

[@ericaklein6249]

Thank you!

Headed Out Back Now 😅Chop Chop Time. They Do get so ratty 😘😘

[@TexasMyTexas]

I need to do this to mine, They’re looking so bad. I’m going to give it a go. 🙌🏼 🙌🏼

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@SJ-ev6by]

Thank you-that was information I will need. Two questions-we get harsh winters here, so I assume I should cut it back at the end of its growing season before our winter hits? Also, during its prime growing season, how do I trim off the dead growth-you know, those blossoms that have shown color and then wilted away? I’ve been tracing the stem downward and cutting it there. Am I doing it correctly?

[@williamlanzelotti6430]

I really wanted to know how to deadhead it not cut it back!

[@SJ-ev6by]

I’m looking for the same information-I asked the question above.

[@CaritaXoXo]

Ooh no I was hoping to see what they grew up to be after you cut them back.

[@heathersmart4635]

Can I do the same with dianthus? Mine looks so ratty and I think I should prune them.

[@PowertotheFlower]

Hey there! Pretty much the same thing. You want to give your dianthus a ground level haircut each year, if not twice per year as suggested by this helpful video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4KQY2OVlsaFnaM

[@isaleebb1939]

Hi can i ask what if someone accidentally cut the stem that has flower in it (not fully bloom) if i put it in soil will it survive or not? 😔

[@PowertotheFlower]

Hi! The proportion of gaillardia is by root division or by seed. So it’s very unlikely the plant will root in and survive in the situation you describe. Good luck!

[@jagdishbahia9162]

Can I do the same with scabious butterfly?

[@PowertotheFlower]

Yes, cutting back to 2-3” in Fall/Winter is the right thing to do to refresh. In our warm climate (USDA zone 9) I only cut back the top bit and leave a big puff of green over the winter...more like 5-6”. 👍🏻

[@royfranc]

What about dead heading the globes, from UK

[@PowertotheFlower]

For sure you can deadhead the globes! Follow the stem down to where it connects with the plant and cut it inside the foliage! 🇬🇧

Why the stupid music again...turned off.
