How to grow
How To Grow Geranium From Seed: To sow geranium 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 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 flower 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 of Geraniums includes using a liquid fertilizer monthly, water when they dry out, and deadhead the spent blooms to keep plants blooming well.
