I just added some Echinacea to my garden, and I need to know how to deadhead so that the plant looks nice, and I don't lose any future blooms for the season. I gather (from reading another forum online) that you can get new blooms further down the scape, below the bloom that you are deadheading. Is this true? If so, then where is the correct place to cut the scape (presuming that you don't see any new developing buds)?

Thanks for any help or advice.
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
