Expert Response
Marguerites are an easy plant to manage. Deadheading can improve the appearance of the plant and keep it looming longer.
Deadhead Bee balm when the blooms fade to encourage more blooms.
At the first frost, stop deadheading both to allow the birds to use the seeds for food throughout the winter months.
