How to prune pelargonium 'flower of spring'

Early spring; pinch tips throughout the growing season. Pinch out the growing tip of each stem to two or three nodes in spring to encourage branching. Remove spent flower heads at the base of the peduncle. Cut back any overly long stems to a healthy leaf node.

Prune lightly in spring to maintain a compact shape, and deadhead regularly. Pinch growing tips when young to build a bushy framework. Remove any all-green shoots immediately to preserve the silver-edged variegation.
