Proper Way to Deadhead Geraniums

To deadhead geraniums, snip the stem just below the spent flower cluster, removing the developing seed head. But don't stop there — the remaining stem is unsightly. Cut it back into the foliage, leaving an inch or two. That short stub will dry and fall off naturally.

Removing the seed-forming area redirects energy into new blooms. Regular deadheading keeps geraniums flowering continuously through the season.
