SAVOIR Geranium Flower Seed Plant Mix Perennial Flowers Bloom - 100 Seeds

Geranium plants require little care, once established. They prefer full sun and a well-drained, moderately rich soil. They can handle partial shade, but become more prone to mildew if kept damp. These plants are easy to grow from geranium seeds indoors in late winter. Once the plants are established, they will bloom all summer and can be wintered over indoors or in a greenhouse. Where to Plant Geraniums -- Geraniums require plenty of sunlight to flower, but in areas with hot summers, a bit of shade is recommended. When it comes to how much sunlight do geraniums need, the answer depends on the specific geranium and your garden zone. When to Plant Geraniums -- Don’t rush the planting season geraniums are not cold hardy. But if you wait too long, you risk missing the cool night temperatures that encourage budding. Knowing how to grow geraniums outdoors begins with planting at the proper time. Wait until the danger of the last frost has passed and your soil reaches 60 degrees F. Fertilizer for Geraniums -- Geraniums require light fertilization. If you feed them too much, the foliage will flourish at the expense of the flower. Although you may see it in your garden center, you don’t need to purchase a specialty geranium fertilizer. Watering Geraniums -- Because you need to water geraniums thoroughly and deeply, take the time to leave an irrigation furrow around each plant to serve as a watering reservoir. This allows the water to pool and then gently filter down through the soil. To avoid root rot, allow soil to become dry between watering. Watering at ground level with a soaker hose keeps water off the foliage and protects against disease.Soil in pots tends to get warm, so growing geraniums in containers requires regular watering. The drainage holes help prevent root rot, so you don’t have to wait for the soil to dry out in between waterings.
