All,

I've added guara lindheimeri (whirling butterflies) to my garden this year.
I've read that I should deadhead to promote continued flowering, but I'm
unsure how to do this. Do I cut the whole stem down?

I have the same problem with my rocket snapdragons. (or any of the
snapdragons, for that matter) Do I just remove the seed pods or cut the
whole stem? They continue to produce more flowers at the tip as they grow,
so I'm always hesitant to cut the whole stem. Will it grow new ones?

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks,

Rags

Thanks for the info, Identity, on the guara. As for the snapdragons, I
DID specifically mention Rocket, and that does usually just bloom 1x
each year, but I also have other, smaller varieties, like 'Liberty' and
the dwarf varieties that bloom can pretty much all summer if properly
deadheaded here in Kentucky, zone 6A. I just don't know whether to
pinch them back at the stems, or remove the seed pods. I've had
limited success with the dwarfs by pinching them. But the taller ones?
Success anyone?

Thanks,

Rags
