How to prune pelargonium 'solferino'

Late summer to early autumn, or early spring before growth resumes. Pinch growing tips above a leaf node to promote branching. For the seasonal cut-back, reduce each stem by up to half, cutting just above a healthy node or side shoot. Remove spent flower stalks at the stem base to keep the plant tidy and disease-free.

Deadhead throughout the flowering season; hard trim once or twice annually. Pelargonium 'Solferino' is a semi-double flowered zonal pelargonium. Pinch tips on young plants to encourage a bushy multi-stemmed habit and deadhead consistently to prolong flowering. Cut stems back by one-third to one-half in late summer or early spring to prevent the plant becoming leggy and to stimulate vigorous new growth.
