How to prune pelargonium 'mrs pollock'

Spring (pinching); summer (deadheading, reversion removal); late summer (seasonal cutback). Remove spent flower heads at their base to redirect energy to foliage. Pinch stem tips above a node in spring. Cut reverted plain-green shoots back to their origin. Reduce all stems by one-third in late summer with clean secateurs.

Deadhead weekly; remove reversions immediately when seen; tip-pinch in spring; hard prune once annually. Pelargonium 'Mrs Pollock' is a highly ornamental tricolour zonal pelargonium grown mainly for its spectacular red, gold, and green foliage. Deadhead to prevent energy going to seed. Pinch tips in spring for a bushy shape. Remove any plain-green reverted shoots immediately to preserve the distinctive tricolour patterning. Cut back by one-third in late summer.
