Re: [SG] deadheading

Claire, did you start this deadheading thread by asking specifically about
narcissus? Please refresh my memory. If so, I can probably find out "from
the horse's mouth"--Libby Frey, who is one of the world's great daffodil
experts. It would sure be a help to me if I didn't have to deadhead
narcissus. Although the daylilies are what are giving me fits right now.
My husband insists on planting more daylilies every year, but feels no
need to deadhead. I am POSITIVE they need to be deadheaded, to ward off
seed production if nothing else. Plus they look so dreadful with those
dead flowers hanging off them. I keep telling Jim, you're going to have to
deadhead these if you buy them--and he always promises, but rarely makes
much of an effort. I see I have raised another issue--spouses who cause
extra work by buying particular sorts of plants. Since they help out in
other ways, I suppose one can't complain too much--or can one???
