Of Flower Heads:
Before long insignificant, slender-fingered flower heads appear and soon the pest has completed its cycle and a new crop of seed is scattered. The earliest crab grass plants to start into growth take a few weeks to reach the seeding stage but crab grass seeds that germinate at midsummer or later usually get busy immediately with the business of insuring the perpetuation of the species and they flower and seed possibly cut off their seed heads.Mop-head hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla) are superb garden shrubs which flower from mid-summer to fall. Leave the flower stems and old flower heads in place until late winter or early spring, then cut out all shoots that produced flowers during the previous year This radically thins out the shrub, allows li] and air to enter and encourages the developmerr fresh shoots which will bear flowers later in the year
Pinch out the growing tip of plants such as fuchsias in order to encourage the growth of side-shoots and a bushy habit. Deadheading is the removal, of flower heads as soon as they have died. Perennials and biennials will flower at least once a season if you deadhead them as soon as the first flowers have died.
