Are these buds spent ... Ready to deadhead ??

Any advice

Yea ... Ive had some flowers ... I got them in a job lot from tescos @ 50 p each ... I got a variety of unknowns ha ha !!!

They look like they haven't opened yet, although i'm not familiar with this particular one.

Im going tohave to tag the next flower and see wit it looks like after its flowered .... Cheers

They had better flowered .... Now dead- headeded !!!

The photo shows unopened buds. When you deadhead, prune down to the next leaves, like you would when pruning roses. It will encouage branching.

Thanks pilgrim know better next time.

Thanks for advice pilgrim on the cosmos buds .... Flowers a plenty now... Cheers
