I've been tasked with watering and deadheading some pansies but I don't know where to pinch off the old dead blooms. If you pull on them, they come right out of the green base of the flower very easily. Should I be doing this, or do I have to pinch off the whole green base of the bloom as well?
How do I deadhead pansies?
You can remove only the spent flower and the stem will fall off naturally,but you will get a tidier look if you go ahead and remove the whole stem.
Reply:I snip off the stalk and the faded bloom with a small pair of scissors.. works great!
Reply:It will look less stunning if you only remove the dried heads...but is ultimately better for the plant itself. With pansies you will find the head gets dry , take your finger, pinch below the dry head and pull upwards.
