Great just what I needed to know concise , and to the point and no other waffle as you get with some videos thank you very much I’m off to do the Chelsea chop 😀
Helpful video, just in time. My geranium looked promising and compact earlier this spring, now it's leggy already. Good to know I can prune safely. Thanks.
I adore H Geraniums and have loads! I have never done this chop before. It looks very drastic! Mine tend to go leggy at the end of June in the far south east UK. Is it too late to do this then? Also, how long does it take to flower again after the chop?
I do wish you had showed a less drastic prune. I am not willing to go that drastic, plus we don’t know if or how long it takes to come back too possibly rebloom.
@@paultsworld first year with them and they have emerged from snow melt of course all matted down and brown. I shouldn’t cut back until I see new growth? I appreciate advice!
You can prune it now and new leaves will start to grow through the rest of the summer. You may be lucky to have a few more flowers buy the end of summer but more than likely it won't flower again until next late spring.
Thank you. Searching for written explanations of this has proved fruitless. I appreciate the visual guidance.

Thanks Ben , worth watching .
Brutal but worth it, must give it a try.
Very helpful, wasn't sure if I should cut it while it was blowing, but mine looks more like a tumbleweed at this point. Haha
Exactly the video I need. My geranium Rozanne is very leggy and expanding like a huge spider.
They come back in a nice rounded shape, but in my case, they don't flower again. Perhaps I wait too late to do the Chelsea chop.
Nice one and you've done great job

I chopped mine 2wks ago and they have nice greenery once again. Fingers crossed for 2nd blooms 🤞🏻

Thank you, this is quite helpful!
Ben, can I do the same in the autumn ?
Thank you very much for information
can you root those cuttings under mist?
What variety is that? Really nice one
It looks like Geranium X Magnificum (purple Cranesbill).
Similar to mine “Johnson’s Blue” geranium
I have never seen a geranium like that. It is beautiful! What is it called? I need that in my garden.
maybe you are thinking about "pelargonium" that is often called Geranium but it's a different plant
Looks like my “Johnson’s Blue
Should I cut them back like this in fall, as well?
Just leave them now - but in Spring as growth starts just cut it all back to the ground.

Is it ok to do that in mid july? And how long does it take to bloom again?
Thank you for sharing!
