When is it the best time to cut down your flowers like daylilies daisies or any kind of plant

Question

When is it the best time to cut down your flowers after they’ve no flowers on them and all there is is the bottom of their stems

Answer 1

Cut down flower stems on daylilies once blooms are faded. Daisies will produce more blooms if faded flowers are cut back to the next visible bud. On tall shasta daisies, this may be 6-9 inches below the bloom. Look closely for new growth where a leaf meets the stem. Flower stems may be cut back to basal foliage after blooming is over. The main foliage is still needed to prepare the roots for winter so it should remain intact until it yellows in fall.
