Ivy-leaf geraniums - Empty flower bases

I bought an ivy-leaf geranium about a week ago. It was in pretty poor shape at the garden store (it was the last one left), but I decided to grab it and hope I could nurse it back to health. There are some beautiful flowers on it (not many though), and several empty green "flower-bases?" I don't know what you would call them. The green part at the end of the stem, that the flower actually grows out of - it has a few spikes that kind of hold the flower in....anyway...there's many empty ones of those that look as though the flower has just fallen out. How should I care for this plant to try to regrow as many flowers as possible? Do I need to remove those empty bases, or entire stems even?
