Re: deadheading

benefits of deadheading are more than just continuous bloom, or is that the only thing you're interested in? Such as - deadheading verbascum so it doesn't kill itself. or deadheading amaranthus so you don't end up with a bazillion seedlings. or deadheading tulips so energy goes to the bulb rather than to making seed.

Ok, I am really focusing on my own garden now which is cool but I'm afraid I 
have to bother you folks with a lot of questions.  In the matter of
deadheading is there some kind of rule for which plants benefit and which do not? Hibs don't need it to continue blooming. But what about daisys, bird of 
paradise or dahlias?  And if somebody knows a rule could you share?
