Deadheading Dahlias

It's really worthwhile keeping up with deadheading your Dahlias, to ensure they will have a continuous display of fresh flowers.

It can be difficult to spot which buds have finished as the petals drop off quickly, but these photos make it clear: the purple arrow shows the fat, round new buds just ready to open (don't cut these!) while the red arrow shows the old, elongated remains of the flowers - snip these stems off just above the next new bud.
