Should I deadhead my daisies?

I have potted daisies on the front porch (east sun). A lot of blooms are spent. Do I deadhead by cutting them down? Will more grow in?

Yes, get snippy with your daisies and they will continue to bloom all summer if you keep them well fertilized. I work a teaspoon of Osmocote plant food into the soil of all my annuals and use a small pair of scissors to snip off the faded blooms and stems of potted annuals to keep them in flower until the first hard frost.
