After planting the seeds, you want to water the flower bed; otherwise, it won’t grow. In fact, creating a schedule to water the plants is the best practice. Unless it rains, you should always keep the flower beds wet.
Harvesting the plant doesn’t remove the original flower. When you pick the flowers, the plant itself will remain. So, if you want to grow another set of the same flowers, just water the existing plant, and the garden will bloom in no time.
If you do not wish to keep the garden any longer, ignore it. Without water, the garden and plants will die.
