Should I deadhead my bachelor’s buttons?
Deadheading is the process of removing dying flowers to encourage new blooms to form. Bachelor’s buttons do not require deadheading, but you may wish to perform the practice for a few reasons. More flower growth will create more beauty in your garden, as well as attracting pollinators in higher numbers. This is a useful practice if you are growing the plants for seed as well — a greater number of flowers will lead to higher quantities of seed. Deciding not to deadhead also leaves this plant's seeds available to the bird species that eat them.
