    One of the quickest ways is to deadhead flowers.  If flowers are allowed to go to seed, the plant ceases production of more flowers and becomes dormant, eventually dying.  As long as there are no seeds being produced, the plant will continue to produce.  This does not take into account such conditions as climate and hydration which will adversely effect the life of various species.
