So is yours a 2 year old plant nevermore? After reading some other posts here on the coneflower forum, I think I'm going out and cutting the blooms off my Hot Papaya plants. I want all energy to go to the plant and not to the bloom or trying to form seeds. I love these and very much want them to last more than two or three years. My Pink Double Delight and Coconut Lime are so nice this year I'm using them for cut flowers and they are great. I'm hoping for the same from Hot Papaya even if I have to cut off the blooms the first two years for the plant to develop.
