Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Start seeds indoors about 8–10 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
Planting Details
- Seed Depth: Lightly press the seeds into the soil, covering with a thin layer as they require light for germination.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart to allow for adequate airflow and growth.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0).
- Sunlight: Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
- Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves, which can promote disease.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Pruning
- Remove dead or spent flowers regularly to encourage new growth and more blooms.
- Prune back leggy or overgrown plants to maintain a compact, bushy shape.
Mulching
- Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and prevent weeds. This will also help keep the roots cool during hot weather.
Harvesting
- Cut Flowers: For fresh arrangements, cut fully open blooms in the morning and place them in water immediately.
- Seeds: Allow flowers to mature and dry on the plant before collecting seeds. Store seeds in a cool, dry place for future planting.
Storage
- Seeds: Keep seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry location. Stored properly, they can remain viable for up to two years.
- Overwintering: In colder climates, consider treating the geranium as an annual, or bring potted plants indoors for winter to preserve them for the next growing season.
