Some of the new flowers on my patunias are falling off also. I have gotten rid of a few beetles, And we had some rain also.(I'll let them dry out a bit)I do deadhead them every morning. 2 times a day if needed, also if i see any with seed,I take them off and put them in a plastic bag for next year.(Hope it works) How do I cut them back? I also have one that is pretty sick looking(yellowish. looks like it's dead,but is still getting flowers on it.go figure.) Thank you all. Carol |

Just take your clippers & clip. Leave at least one set of leaves on the stem, I drastically cut mine back in mid-summer-they don't do well this far south in the heat of summer. They will come back when it gets cooler. Fertilize well. Place in part shade, especially from midday sun. |

Morningglories, petunias love to be deadheaded, I am constantly outside deadheading mine- once a week if sunny, more often if it rains alot here, mine don't like to get super wet!!! Tammy |

Thank you! I was wondering if I should deadhead my morning glories. |
