How to prune geranium 'ann folkard'

Midsummer after first flush, and again in late autumn or early spring. Cut all stems back to 10–15 cm (4–6 in) after the main June–July flush to encourage a second bloom. In autumn, cut the whole plant to ground level or leave for frost protection and cut back in early spring.

Twice yearly — midsummer deadhead/cutback, then full tidy in autumn or early spring. Geranium 'Ann Folkard' benefits from cutting back hard after its main flush in midsummer — shear the sprawling stems to a low mound to prompt a second wave of magenta flowers. Remove dead stems to ground level in late autumn or early spring. This keeps the scrambling habit tidy and flowering vigorously.
