Definitely too soon. Wait until they start to brown.

what does cutting them do?

### CG commented on 2025-05-11

The flower used to be white. I can tell it’s slowly dying. From research, cutting (deadheading) redirects energy towards new flower growth elsewhere

#### CG replied on 2025-05-11

If you look closely in the second photo, you can see a white flower blooming behind the green one

#### Sapphire replied on 2025-05-11

Oh. If it USED to be white, then go ahead and chop.
