Cutting back hardy geraniums help please

Hello
I am having a bit of a tidy up in the garden today, cutting back perennials etc. I have some hardy geraniums that have stayed pretty much evergreen over winter having not died back much at all. I'm not sure whether to cut them back to the ground or leave them as they are. What do people think?
Thanks!

 

I'd cut them back as I think the new foliage will come before the flowers.

 

I cut them back hard, then wash my hands. Crushed geranium leaves have a scent which gets right up my nose

 

ok, i'll cut back. Good to know thanks guys.
ps i love that smell!

 

It smells like cat urine

Now is a good time to dig up a trowell sized piece of those geraniums and make new plants if you need them... we usually have to dig up and bin lots as some become too speading.
