How to grow
How To Grow Geraniums From Seed: It is best to start these seeds 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 fresh seeds into the mix, ensuring not to cover the seeds by 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.
In just a short five to six weeks after sowing the seeds, transplant these young seedlings into small pots. Once frost season is over in your area and temperatures are climbing, gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions for 10 - 15 days before finding the perfect location to plant your geraniums outdoors. Proper care includes using a liquid fertilizer when needed (usually about once a month), providing proper moisture for the plants, and deadheading old flowers to keep new buds appearing.

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.

Common Questions
Do I need to deadhead my geranium flowers?
Yes, to prolong your bloom season you will need to deadhead your spent blooms.
How much water to potted geraniums need?
This will depend on temperatures. A good rule of thumb is 2 – 3 times per week. In the garden once established you can allow the soil to dry out between and watering once a week is often enough.
Do I need to fertilize my plants?
Geraniums benefit from an application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 2 to 4 weeks. Skip this if you used a potting medium in your containers plants that already have fertilizer in the mix.
Do I need to prune my geranium plants?
Branches should be pinched back just above the leaf node. Remove flower stems at their base. It is also key to check regularly and remove any damaged stems or foliage.
Do geraniums do better in pots or in the ground?
Geraniums are excellent container plants. They can also do well as bedding plants and in borders, however growing them in pots allows for greater control over water, heat and sun exposure.
Can geraniums grow indoors?
Potted geraniums can do well as indoor plants provided you can give them enough light exposure.

Geranium (Pelargonium Zonale FI Appleblossom) - Beautifully displaying the apple blossom colored blooms, the large, generously zoned foliage of this flower is almost a scene stealer! Readily grown from Pelargonium Zonale seeds, this drought tolerant geranium is marked by rich green foliage which is handsome enough to stand on its own as a foliage plant, but the huge 4 - 5 inch flower heads nearly obscure the foliage at the height of bloom.
Early summer blooms
Geranium plants will start blooming in early summer and will continue blooming right up to frost in the garden, pots, or window boxes!
