Daisies - how much to deadhead
Posted: Jul 11, 2012 3:25 pm
We got some daisies from a friend last fall. They're doing well...in fact, they look like they've been there for years. My wife would like to see them expand. So, should we deadhead or does that keep them from dropping seed and expanding? And, if we do want to leave some go to seed, is it better to leave a couple of the early ones go to seed and then deadhead the rest.
On a related note, do birds like the seeds? In particular, Black-Eyed Susans seem to be quite popular with goldfinches so I've left them go to seed just to get the goldfinches to come around.
