Deadheading is as much about trust as it is about technique. You’re telling your plant that you’ve got its back. And it responds—maybe not with a thank you note, but with a gentle cascade of new color.
So go ahead. Grab your shears, pour that coffee, and start snipping. You’ll soon realize that deadheading is just adult play-doh—cut what’s old, make something better. Your hydrangea won’t judge you, and neither will I. Happy snipping.
