Spend a few minutes deadheading each week when the gardenias are actively in bloom. After the main flush of flowering is over, remove any remaining spent blooms and prune back the tips. Tip pruning encourages branching so the gardenia can produce more flower buds the following season.
Deadheading strengthens bulbs because they won't try to produce seed. Daffodils (Narcissus spp.) provide spring flowers, while lilies (Lilium spp.) bloom most profusely during summer. Most daffodils grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 to 11, depending on the variety, while lilies thrive in USDA zones 3 to 8.
