Geranium (Pelargonium Zonale FI Violet) - The dark green foliage of this geranium beautifully frames the large violet blooms which can reach 4 - 5 inches across. This versatile little plant establishes easily from seeds, is resistant to drought, and gives a never ending show of color all growing season long! This plant is basal-branching yet compact, and it manages to produce plenty of blooms and leaves on neat 12 - 14 inch plants. Flowers will start blooming in early summer and continue to bloom in many areas right up until the first frost. There are several places to grow geraniums including: the flower garden, pots, or window boxes. They look great wherever they are planted!
Pelargonium Zonale plants require little care once established including little water. 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 easy to plant flower seeds into the mix, covering no more than 1/8 inch of soil. 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 geranium seeds, transplant seedlings into 3 - 4 inch pots. After frost danger has passed, gradually acclimatize the small seedlings to outdoor conditions for 10 - 15 days before planting directly outside. The best care for your healthy geranium plants use a liquid fertilizer monthly, watering when the plant dries out, and deadheading the spent blooms to keep plants blooming well. These simple steps will help keep your plants looking vibrant.
