How to prune pelargonium peltatum 'roi des balcons lilas'

Spring (tip-pinching); summer (deadheading); late summer (hard cutback). Snap off or cut spent flower stems at their base. Pinch growing tips above a node to encourage branching. For the seasonal cutback, reduce stems by one-third to one-half using clean, sharp secateurs just above a node.

Deadhead every 1–2 weeks in bloom; tip-pinch once in spring; hard prune once annually. Pelargonium peltatum 'Roi des Balcons Lilas' is a classic ivy-leaved balcony pelargonium prized for abundant lilac blooms. Deadhead regularly throughout the season to keep flowers coming.
