You can pinch the spent flowers - but when the whole bloomstalk finished -you remove it. Usually you can just pull it out - or you can trim it with scissors close to the stem. They are not going to bloom again. Quite rarely the buds near small leaflets on a bloomstalk start growiing producing a plantlet you can pot as a baby violet - but it is easier just put a leaf down for babies.

Good Luck and more violets for you

Thank you so very much! Donna :-)
