Geranium question

Two questions about Geraniums;
1) My Geranium magnificum only repeat flowers if I cut it back hard after the first flowering. Is there any need to deadhead after the first flowering, if I am going to cut it back anyway, or does this increase the number of flowers in the second flowering?
2) Geranium oxonianum: I've read this is very vigorous, and we have it in a trough which contains it. I'd like to move some into a planting bed, but don't want it to take over. I was thinking of cutting a hole in the base of a large plastic plant pot, and sinking this into the ground to contain the roots. Has anyone tried this, or any other techniques.

Never had any success with magnificum reflowering but the leaves turned a beautiful red later in the season
