About This Variety

Meet This Variety

For a seasonal garden plan that starts with seed, Garden Geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum) is a perennial garden plant for garden borders and beds. Give plants full sun and fertile, well-drained soil as they establish.

As the seed-starting period begins, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Keep the soil evenly moist while seedlings establish, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy, with a patient routine focused on the establishment period after sowing.

A garden-ready Garden Geranium choice for borders & beds.
