Can anyone tell me why every morning the petals seem to be falling of my geranium?

    Assuming the plant is adequately watered it's just a natural process.   Hardy geraniums do not flower all summer long like pelargoniums.

    This variety flowers early then sets seed but you can get a second flush if you trim the entire plant back to about 3" high once all the flowers have finished.  Give it a feed and it will grow fresh foliage and, probably but not definitely, flower again late in summer.  It is best planted in a border where it can mingle.   Not a good subject for a display pot.
