Q.Please Refer To My Previous Question (that You Answered): Does My Plant Get The Right Amount Of Sun?
Thank you for partially answering my previous question. I still need to know: Are three+ hours of late afternoon sun harmful to the plant? It gets dappled sun light until 3:00pm. Should I dead-head ALL of the flowers? How soon after dead-heading does the plant form new flowers on new smooth stems? Do they form those smooth stem and 2nd flush of flowers the first year? Do those stems die off? Also what does “remontant” mean? (versus reblooming) Thank you very much, Hannah Nargang
