we have a geranium plant that probably needed to be deadheaded a WHILE ago.. however I didn't know about this until I came to this forum.. I also thought deadheading them anytime was fine.. however I found out you need to do this before they make the seeds.. The blooms on the geraniums were very dried out.. but some WEREN't making seeds yet. however it has been about 2-3 weeks and I do not see ANY blooms at ALL.
When you first hear the garden term deadhead, you might picture friends who wore tie-dye and traveled to concerts a lot. But gardeners use the term deadhead in a completely different way. Deadheading keeps gardens neat and blooming. It's a form of good plant housekeeping. You can get by without it, but your garden will give you extra oohs and ahs if you prune, pinch and deadhead a bit.
