So, I know of course that the plant itself could care less whether or not a person comes along and deadheads spent flowers. I'm growing this species as an annual up here in WI, as a component of some large planters. It has worked out quite well, but the plant seems to go through cycles of bloom/vegetative growth and the spent flowers are not the most attractive items I've ever seen, looking a bit too much like a dandelion seedhead. On the other hand, my crew members loath the thought of so tedious a task as carefully cutting off these myriad seedheads.

So, for you folks in S. Florida, etc. where the vine grows year round-do you deadhead? If not, will the plant come back into bloom well enough on its own? thanks.
