    Flowers will more or less wilt all at the same time along a single stem, at least that’s what’s happening to my own. When the white petals are all faded, i cut them at the base of the stem, here:

    After that I’ll get more new shoots and I just keep doing this till fall comes around and it stops sending them out.
