| Thanks for posting that Mollydog. There were a few plants on the list on page two that I'd been wondering about, especially this year since everything has been blooming so early. Hope to get some reblooms. |

| Do Echinaceas rebloom after deadheading? |

| miclino: They bloom for a long period without deadheading so it isn't essential, but deadheading can tidy them up, improve the rebloom somewhat, and produce larger lateral flowerheads. The seedheads are often food sources for birds during winter, so I leave some for them but not too many because Echinacea reseed prolifically. |

| Dead flowers are just ugly, why leave any? (Unless you are after seeds, of course.) |
