How to prune pelargonium peltatum 'amethyst'

Spring (pinching); throughout summer (deadheading); late summer (seasonal cutback). Remove spent flower clusters at their base to encourage reblooming. Pinch growing tips just above a node to promote bushier trailing stems. For the hard cutback, shorten all stems by one-third to one-half with clean secateurs.

Deadhead weekly during bloom; tip-pinch in spring; hard prune once in late summer. Pelargonium peltatum 'Amethyst' is an ivy-leaved trailing pelargonium grown for its cascading habit and lavender-pink flowers. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to extend flowering. Pinch stem tips in spring to encourage branching. Cut back by one-third to one-half in late summer before overwintering to keep plants manageable and promote fresh growth.
