Deadhead Your Phlox For MORE FLOWERS!

If your garden phlox has finished blooming, don’t cut it down just yet! In this video, I’ll show you exactly how to deadhead phlox so you can encourage fresh side shoots and possibly get more flowers later in the season. You’ll see the real result on a phlox that was deadheaded earlier and is now blooming again, plus a step-by-step look at where to make the cut on plants that have just finished flowering. I’ll also show you how to spot the new growth below the old flower heads and why cutting in the right place can make such a big difference. Deadheading garden phlox is one of the easiest late-summer garden jobs, and it can help keep your plants looking cleaner while encouraging a second flush of blooms. The exact results can vary by variety, climate, and how much warm weather is left, but if your phlox is still healthy and green, it may not be done blooming yet. If your phlox flowers are fading, turning brown, or looking finished for the summer, check underneath those spent blooms before cutting the whole plant back. You may already see the next round of growth starting. #Phlox #DeadheadPhlox #GardenPhlox #Deadheading #MoreBlooms #FlowerGardening #PerennialGardening #SummerGardening #GardenTips #FlowerGarden
