If you deadhead all of your annuals, you will be rewarded with more and more flowers.

Bambi - Deadheading allows the plant to put all its efforts in producing more flowers.
Good luck !  ;D

the ones in the greenhouse if you pinch them back to 3 sets of leaves and plant outside will bush up lovely and flower better for you.
