Geranium (Pelargonium Zonale F1 Rose) - There is a great deal of variety in the Geraniums that can be grown from flower seeds, but most of the commonly grown varieties are low-growing, dense carpet-like plants. The leaves are dark green and may be rounded, but more often they are serrated or lobed and quite attractive. Many people like to grow geranium plants just for its attractive foliage. The 4 - 5 inch beautiful flowers are just an added bonus! Geraniums are often planted under roses, to camouflage rose knees and complement the roses in color; however, they look equally good when paired with contrasting textures and colors.
Pelargonium Zonale plants require little care once established and are considered drought tolerant. 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. Easy-to-start from flower seeds indoors in late winter, geraniums will bloom all summer and can be wintered over indoors or in a greenhouse.
To sow seeds, start indoors 8 - 10 weeks before the last frost date is expected. Use starter trays and a good free-draining seed sowing mix, and press the geranium seeds into the mix, covering no more than 1/8 inch. Moisten the flower seeds and seal the tray in a plastic bag or cover with a piece of glass to keep humidity and temperatures more consistent. Five to six weeks after sowing the seeds, transplant seedlings into 3 - 4 inch pots. After frost danger has passed, gradually acclimatize the seedlings to outdoor conditions for 10 - 15 days before planting out. Care includes using a liquid fertilizer monthly, watering when they dry out, and deadheading the spent blooms to keep plants blooming well.
