GARDENING ADVICE FOR THE COMMITTED & UNCOMMITTED ALIKE

Pulling Petunia petals

Hands up who deadheads their Petunias properly? If you are just pulling off the old petals the answer is, you’re not! Doing this leaves the seedhead in place, meaning the plant won’t make much effort to produce new blooms.

Nip out the whole lot to the main stem – Petunias are softer in the morning so do it then and you will be able to use your fingernails, as pictured.

If you have ended up with straggly shoots, chop back quite hard, feed and water and you will soon get healthy, bushy regrowth.
