geraniums overwintered now in full flower

All the geraniums saved in baskets are now in full flower! Should I remove the flowers as too early to hang baskets outside, they are in GH at moment.

    Don't know what the 'proper' advice would be but I keep mine in the greenhouse until they are ready to go out, give them a feed, deadhead regularly and enjoy them!

    I am assuming you mean pelargoniums

    Why remove the flowers?  Just keep deadheading them ... they’ll go on all summer 😊

    My wall basket has overwintered well and the pelargoniums are flowering again. Very pleased as there were some lovely plants in there. I will feed them and count my blessings!

    If you overwintered them in a cold greenhouse, they are probably perfectly used to low night temperatures, I would consider them ready to go out. But of course, it depends on your location and weather situation.
