Yes, Dianthus 'Double Bubble' should be deadheaded to encourage more blooms. Deadheading is the process of removing spent flowers from a plant. This helps to keep the plant looking tidy and prevent a diversion of plant energy. In the case of Dianthus 'Double Bubble', deadheading will also encourage the plant to produce more flowers throughout the summer and fall.
To deadhead Dianthus 'Double Bubble', simply pinch or snip off the spent flowers just below the base of the flower head. Best to use a pair of scissors or garden shears. Deadheading can be done as soon as the flowers start to fade, and it should be done regularly throughout the blooming season.

- Use sharp shears or scissors to make a clean cut.
- Deadhead flowers in the morning or evening, when the plant is cool and the blooms are closed.
