| - and besides that, you are cutting off the entire season of growth on every branch that you cut. The new leaves come out of the same spot the flowers come out of, once the flowers are done, so you can't avoid cutting off that growth, if you cut the flower stem. If you have lots and lots so losing some growth isn't a big deal, you could try it, but as LizaLily mentioned, they don't last very long anyway. Jeanne |
