Dianthus Flower Deadheading. Speaking of show stoppers Clematis texensis Duchess of Albany offers up the loveliest pink flowers from mid-Summer to early frost. When deadheading inspect the stems first before cutting.
Check for buds on the stem because its possible that a lot of flowers can grow on one stem. Like with many other kinds of flowers dianthus flowers need to be deadheaded. Most dianthus flowers are easy to grow and can thrive in a range of conditions.
Check the stems of the dead dianthus blooms for buds.
Deadheading can also encourage prolonged blooming. Deadheading dianthus allows the plants to direct their energy into growing more blossoms and denser foliage instead of producing seeds. They bloom best when given plenty of sun but they dont like the high heat of mid-summer. Featuring equally large 3 five-petaled flowers that are cotton candy pink with deeper rose-pink ribs this hardy selection dazzles in the Fall.
