Question about Plumbago?

I planted a Plumbago about a month ago and it's doing great. My question is when the flowers are done blooming %26amp; turn brown, do I just cut back the base of the flowering part of the stem that meets the main stem (if that makes sense) or do I just leave them be? I'm in South Texas and I was told they bloom from May through Nov., and to prune them in the winter. How do I keep the flowers blooming for the rest of this season???? Thanks for your help.

Question about Plumbago?
If there aren't too many flowers, cutting them off after they fade can help save the plant some evergy and resources it would have used in making seeds. Chances are the flowers have pollinated and may be starting to form seed, this process takes nutrients and sugars away from the plant in order to potentially feed a growing embryo (tiny part inside seed). If you cut off this resource-drain, the plant may have enough resources left to bloom a second time.

Cutting off dead and faded flowers is often practiced, it is called "Dead heading"

Good luck!
Reply:Be fine to leave them on your plant. Plumbago is a quick growing plant so usually once flowering is over give it a nice hedge or trim back ( dont be too gentle its a pretty hardy plant ) That way you've got fresh growth for next years flowering
Reply:I've always just let mine go, but pruned when they needed it - even in the summer.
