August Deadheading for Longer Late-Summer Blooms
August deadheading is a practical way to extend bloom season, especially for late summer flowers that respond well to spent flower removal. This guide explains which deadheading annuals and deadheading perennials will reward the work with repeat blooms, and which plants are best left alone.
