Pinch off the flower just below the blossom but if the stems are dried out cut them back to where the dry area ends.

I live in California and I just whack my petunias way back with my pruning shears to about 2 inches. I do it several times a year They come back great.

What I always do is just remove the blooms when they start to shrivel up. This is what I have always been told to do. Otherwise the petunias quit blooming.

I was told from a local nursery that on your petunias you cut them back 1/3 when you plant them and then again in July. It takes them a little time to grow back out but they get so thick and bushy, their beautiful. Pattysue

How do you pinch back petunias to keep them from being so "leggy"?

As a flower dies, pinch that stem back to just above a leaf. If it is already leggy, just pinch back just above a leaf wherever and it should branch out and keep flowering.

I have beautiful hanging baskets of (mainly) petunias on my northeast facing porch. They are beginning to look rather ragged now (almost mid July).
