I love my liatrus and so do the bees, butterflies and goldfinches. I hate to remove spent blooms as the goldfinches love them but if I remove some will the plant produce more blooms?

Info from Garden Gate...

Cut stems back to the top of the foliage after the flowers fade; smaller second flowers may
sprout from the stem or near the ground; if not deadheaded birds will feast on the seeds

I love this chart...use it all the time
