There's a small bump along the stem about 1/4 to 1 inch down from the flower. The flower will snap easily off in your hand at this spot.

| Thanks alot BeachBarbie I found the "bump" as described and I was able to deadead. Thanks for the info! |

| Can you deadhead the whole flower stem or just where the 'bump' is? |
RE: Deadheading

| I just deadhead where the "bump" is because it seems to snap off naturally that way. Just my opinion. |

| I just pull the dead flower off and leave the rest if you want seed pods, pulling the stem destroys the pods too. |
