to prolong the life, deadhead them ...two weeks for each bloom, then cut it off before the plant starts putting its energy in seed production...

Izhar, please do send me a few seeds of yellow Dhatoora.
Vinca has earned a permanent seat in my garden. My Zinnias are ruined by rains While Balsam and Motias are flourishing.
Your advice of dead heading has more weight than most people consider.

I grew it for the first time, germination in trays was good, plugs were planted as border, no mortality after trans-planting, have stood the heavy rains and I hope they will bloom for a long time..
