Re: [SG] Leadwort

Hello Bobbi,
        Can't answer you on this one. I leave the rusty red remnants and never
though of deadheading the flowers. My Leadwort has a bloom period of from
July until late September or early October, so it never occurred to me.
perhaps someone else has tried deadheading.
