I'm growing a cracking fushcia in a hanging basket for the first time - should I dead-head the pods that the flowers leave behind?

aka
Suzie -
I dead head the flowers (no idea what they are) on our hanging baskets like there's no tomorrow and they are blooming marvellous-ly. I'm sure it's the same with all flowers no? Off with the seed head and the flower produces more bloom - survival.
Ours are trumpet shaped whatever they are, and they go sticky.Last edited by HeyWayne; 22-07-2008, 06:58 AM.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.
What would Vedder do? -
Agree wit HW. BTW I reckon you've got petunias HW.I get really muddled which are old seed heads & which are buds~look very similar.Last year hardly had any blooms as I kept dead heading the wrong bits!the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

I think you might well be right - just googled them and they look very similar if they're not petunias. Thanks.Originally posted by andi&di View Post
