    The astrantias in my garden are in their second year and the flowerheads are now dying and fading. Should I just deadhead/snip off the tops, or cut down to ground level? And is this a good time of year to do either? Thanks.

      Hi Simon, in case of Astrantia I would just deadhead them and not cut them down to the ground. They're one of my favourite plants being so reliable, I just wish they were in more colours!!
