we have a geranium plant that probably needed to be deadheaded a WHILE ago.. however I didn't know about this until I came to this forum.. I also thought deadheading them anytime was fine.. however I found out you need to do this before they make the seeds.. The blooms on the geraniums were very dried out.. but some WEREN't making seeds yet. however it has been about 2-3 weeks and I do not see ANY blooms at ALL.
Deadheading will keep them blooming longer. How you deadhead is basically the same for all plants. Remove the old flower head along the stem (not just the petals of the flower). To promote blooming all you need to do is remove the flower. However, if you prefer to remove more stem for a tidier look you can do so.
