"Here we have echinacea, or the “purple cone flower.” And deadheading on this plant is very rewarding and very necessary. As you can see, here comes the next bloom on the stem. So once again, following our rules for deadheading, we’re going to cut just above that, and here’s our new plant. See the plant? And that’s how we deadhead that one.
