do you pinch these?

Do you pinch impatiens? Bachelor buttons? snaps? Which flowers benefit from pinching?

definately snaps when you first plant them, and then deadhead.. they'll bloom a lot more for you. I don't know about bachelor buttons. I've never done impatiens - they've never needed it. I'm sure some will know more than me, but I pinch anything that needs to look fuller or is getting leggy. I think most annuals can take it...

Definintely impatiens. They become so much more bushy and flowery. Pinch impatiens when they have 2-3 sets of true leaves, and if you have time, one more time when the new growth has developed 2-3 sets of true leaves again.
