Q.Pruning Hardy Geraniums

Zone SK14 5BU Manchester, UK | Anonymous added on August 7, 2022 | Answered

I have some hardy geraniums that have small pink flowers quite heavily veined. I cant remember the name, sorry. Could be a sanguineum variety (vision pink?) Flowering seemed to be finishing and the weather bashed them around abit so i cut them back near to the ground. Will this encourage new growth for another flush of flowers before winter sets in please. Unable to upload photos

Hardy geraniums often don't rebloom after flowering, but cutting it back should refresh it and could lead to a second flush of blooms.
