Growing Tips

  • Confirm whether your seed packet contains a Pelargonium or hardy Geranium species because growing requirements differ.
  • Start seeds indoors 8–12 weeks before the last expected spring frost.
  • Sow seeds shallowly in a light, well-drained seed-starting mix.
  • Provide bright light after seedlings emerge.
  • Keep soil evenly moist but avoid prolonged saturation.
  • Pinch young Pelargonium plants when appropriate to encourage branching and fuller growth.

Seed Storage

Store unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark location. Keep them sealed in their original packet or an airtight container away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

Important Growing Note

The common name “geranium” is used for plants in both the genus Geranium and the genus Pelargonium. These groups have different growth habits and hardiness. Confirm the botanical name on the seed packet before making species-specific growing claims.

Unique Facts

  • True hardy Geraniums are commonly called cranesbills, while many garden “geraniums” belong to the genus Pelargonium.
  • Geranium and Pelargonium flowers are valued for their wide range of colors and forms.
  • Many Pelargonium varieties are popular container and window-box plants.
  • Hardy Geranium species can be useful perennial additions to borders and cottage gardens.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Start seeds indoors 8–12 weeks before the last expected spring frost. Transplant tender types outdoors only after frost danger has passed.

Sowing: Fill seed trays or small pots with a light, fertile, well-drained seed-starting mix. Sow seeds shallowly and cover lightly.

Depth: Plant approximately ⅛ inch deep.

Spacing: Transplant seedlings approximately 8–18 inches apart depending on the expected mature size of the selected variety.

Sunlight: Provide full sun to partial shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade can protect tender plants from excessive heat.

Soil: Use fertile, loose, well-drained soil. Container plants perform well in a quality potting mix with good drainage.

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Once established, water when the upper soil begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately 7–21 days under favorable conditions. Temperature, moisture, light, and seed freshness can affect germination.

Thinning: Thin crowded seedlings after they develop several true leaves to encourage stronger growth and better airflow.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced flowering-plant fertilizer according to soil conditions and product directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen.

Care: Remove faded flowers and damaged leaves regularly. Maintain good airflow and avoid keeping foliage continuously wet.

Pinching: For suitable Pelargonium types, pinch growing tips of young plants to encourage branching and a fuller form. Stop pinching as flowering approaches.

Flowering/Maturity: Flowering time varies by species and growing conditions. Many garden pelargoniums flower during the warmer months, while hardy Geranium species may have different seasonal flowering periods.

Container Growing: Grow in containers with drainage holes and a fertile, well-drained potting mix. Containers are especially useful for tender pelargoniums in cooler climates.

Winter Care: Hardy Geranium species can tolerate colder conditions depending on their hardiness zone. Tender Pelargonium types should be protected from frost and freezing temperatures.
