A plant makes flowers in order to produce seeds and reproduce itself. Once it's done that, it breathes a sigh of relief, thinks its job's done and stops flowering. If you don't let the seeds form, it keeps flowering to try and produce more.Sue Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053188212601918182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-4962273709055761572009-07-10T01:41:15.315+02:002009-07-10T01:41:15.315+02:00Hello all i have 6x hanging baskets 16" ...Hello all i have 6x hanging baskets 16" filled with Surfinias i dead head every day removing just the flower head i have been told you have to cut of the stem just behind the flower head to stop it seeding is this correctAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-62673375277235050962009-02-20T14:57:00.000+01:002009-02-20T14:57:00.000+01:00Derva - Glad you like the blog! In answer to your ...Derva - Glad you like the blog! In answer to your question : petunias are fairly small, compact and upright. They're the original plant. The types which trail have been bred more recently are the surfinias or "wave" petunias. They're the ones you want for your hanging baskets. I've had most success with surfinias and would recommend them.Sue Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053188212601918182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-37753013324579468862009-02-20T13:10:00.000+01:002009-02-20T13:10:00.000+01:00Hi Sue,I enjoy visiting your website a lot.

I though all of the petunias dangle but last year I bought petunias and all of them grew up upright.<BR/><BR/>So, how I will know if my petunias are suitable for hanging baskets.<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-8289323829249425452008-07-09T04:42:00.000+02:002008-07-09T04:42:00.000+02:00I planted a lot of petunias this year and I partic...I planted a lot of petunias this year and I particularly like the Supertunia from Proven Winners. They really don't bloom for long. Sometimes the bloom last only a day. The petunias sure keep me on my toes with deadheading.
