    I bought 2 shooting sats plants that now have bloomed. Should I remove the spent blooms (seed heads)?
    I noticed when I later came across a massive natural growth of them that most were not in bloom.
    Should I expect bloom next year?
    Thanks,
    Jane

    I don't think it's necessary - no one comes along and removes the seed heads in the wild.

    I think they'll reliably flower as long as they are planted in a proper place (moist soil in spring - depending on the species, I've seen them in full sun to partial shade)
