Seriously though,You can do it from spring  but the best time is in  late summer. Choose a strong healthy shoot and cut it just above the third joint below the top. Trim the leaves from the shoot leaving the two at the top.Remove any flowers, or buds. It is important to cut the cut end neatly, just below the bud joint.

Best time is when the council are digging the beds up & slinging them away!

If I´ve snapped any while dead heading I just shove the whole bit in the ground and keep my fingers crossed.  Not had too bad a result- except the pup dug up the last lot :cry:

Geraniums are dead easy.  Make sure you cut just below a leaf joint from a stem that does not have a flower and stick it in compost.
