Splish Splash Geranium
Mischief
Posts: 6
I've had a Splish Splash geranium in my garden for 5 years or more and for the first couple of years it flowered. However, since then I have had no flowers at all even though the plant itself looks healthy enough.
I must admit I haven't fed it as it looks so healthy, what could be the reason for no flowers? Any ideas?

Have you cut it back at all? It might help if you gave it a bit of a prune.
Well as it's not flowering I don't suppose it will hurt. Thanks for the tip. I'll maybe get a late flush
If you've had it for 5 years without flowers I'd dump it and get something that flowers.
I'm being hard this year, they perform or they're out

I have thought about compositing it but it's so health otherwise it seems such a shame. I also don't like giving up on things so I'll cut it back and see what happens towards the end of the year and it there are still no flowers I WILL get rid of it.
Thanks for your replies.
If I remember correctly Splish splash is a fancy version of Geranium pratense, one of our native wildflowers. It won't need any form of coddling and over-feeding anything can give you leaves at the expense of flowers. Ypu need to talk to about that compost heap and what happens to plants that don't please you
