| Do I wait until all the flowers have bloomed and gone to seed? I did that with one plant last year and it didn't return this spring. I hate to deadhead before the show is finished but sure do want that second flush this year. |

| Nope, do remove the whole stalk, down to the lower leaves (usually around 1foot tall) as soon as the main spike of flower has died back - more side shoots will appear for a later show around late August (if you give them a little extra food and water) |
