Ivy Leaf Geranium (Pelargonium X Peltatum Tornado Mix) - You will love this variety of geranium as it has a vigorous, upright habit so branches don’t interlock on the bench and plants can be tightly spaced for simpler production. These ivy leaf geranium plants exhibit better natural basal-branching and less disease problems compared to cuttings, resulting in lower production and labour costs. Soaking geranium seeds over night may improve germination.
Excellent in containers
Big, informal flower heads and distinctive ivy leaves create a beautiful cascade from baskets, tubs and window boxes, and make an excellent component in mixed containers.

How to grow
How To Grow Ivy Leaf Geranium From Seed: Start the flower seeds indoors in winter. Use clean growing containers with drainage holes. Some gardeners suggest soaking the trailing geranium seeds in a damp paper towel for 24 hours before planting.
Cover the pots or trays with clear plastic to help keep the flower seeds moist. Lift the plastic for air circulation once sprouts appear and remove it completely once two true leaves appear.
