I never have, but I guess you can.

If that’s a canna plant , I have also, I cut the dead off and another blossom soon appears. I love these.

I would if I were you. If they are dead, the plant will waste energy trying to revive them, so I think you should.

### NikoScy commented on 2023-06-18

Yep! Cut em off!

### Tillerman commented on 2023-06-18

Absolutely. Cana’s thrive if you remove dead flowers. Cut as close to the stem as possible and use a very sharp manicure scissor to get a clean cut.

Yes
