I bought a small pot of "sea pinks or sea thrifts" today and quite a few of the flowers are dried up and brownish. How do I dead head this plant? There is some shorter new growth so I think there will be more blooming (i hope)! Thanks!

You simply pinch off the dead and dying heads Cheryllyn as it won't damage the plant. You're right btw there should be plenty more flowers to come. Catch up with you later!!! _________________
