It might help you to Google for a nursery specialising in pelargoniums.

A large bright red flowered geranium we have had for about 7 or 8 years has
changed colour this year. Is this normal or is it missing spending winters
in
an
office?

It might have been affected by the soil or compost it's in, light, cold
etc., I suppose. Or did you propagate it from cuttings? One of our staff
is still cringing that in propagating Pel. Mr Wren, she propagated from a
reversion and threw away the 'Mr Wren' bit by mistake. So we are now
without P. Mr Wren!

We bought it in a garden centre that specialises in selling geraniums.
I think it doesn't like the weather we have had so far this summer.

And who can blame the poor thing!
