Planting Details
- Seed Depth: Press the seeds lightly into the soil, as they need light to germinate.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart to allow them room to grow.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a pH range of 6.0–7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral).
- Sunlight: Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and blooming.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil evenly moist, but do not overwater. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
- Water the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Fertilization
- Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks throughout the growing season to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowers.
Pruning
- Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage fresh flowers and prolong the blooming period.
- Prune back any leggy or overgrown growth to maintain a compact shape and promote bushier growth.
Mulching
- Apply mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the roots cool during the hotter months.
Harvesting
- Cut Flowers: For fresh bouquets, cut the flowers in the morning when they are fully open. Immediately place them in water to keep them fresh for longer.
- Seeds: Let the flowers mature and dry on the plant before harvesting the seeds. Store them in a cool, dry place for future planting.
Storage
- Seeds: Keep seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry location. Properly stored seeds can remain viable for up to two years.
- Overwintering: In colder climates, treat these geraniums as annuals or bring potted plants indoors to overwinter for the next growing season.
