Do petunias need to be deadheaded?

Deadheading petunias encourages new flower growth. Some varieties, such as the massive grandiflora petunia, must be deadheaded to keep the plant blooming profusely throughout the growing season. Note: Some petunia varieties such as Wave and super petunia don’t produce seeds, so it isn’t necessary to deadhead them.

How do you keep petunias in Bloom mode?

Keeping petunias in bloom mode is simply a matter of pruning and regular deadheading to encourage more growth. Pruning can also help keep the plant somewhat compact, making it look more lush as it produces more stems and flowers.

When should I remove petunias from my garden?

When flowering begins, regularly remove spent flowers to keep plants compact and producing more blooms. Petunias tend to die back towards the end of summer or into autumn. At this stage, most plants can be removed to make room for autumn and winter plantings. Perennial forms can be cut back at this time and may regrow and re-flower in spring.

Is it normal for petunias to have long stems?

It’s normal for cascading or trailing varieties to develop long stems, as these petunias are designed to spread out over a landscape or spill over the sides of a hanging basket or planter. On the other hand, if a mounding petunia or variety such as a grandiflora develops long, spindly stems and starts looking unkempt, it’s time for a trim.
