HOW TO GROW Pelargonium x hortorum

When to Set Outside: About a week after last frost, when nighttime temperatures remain above 40°F.

Placement & Cultivation

Geraniums traveled from South Africa and were cultivated and marveled over in glasshouses by the early 1600s, and we love them still for their varied beautiful leaves and flower colors. Provide well-drained soils and allow the soil to dry before watering throughly. Deadhead spent flowers regularly and provide some afternoon shade in hot summer areas.
Final Spacing: 1.5'
Water Use: Medium Water Use
Watering Details: 1" per week is plenty; water when soil becomes noticeably dry down 2" down into pot. These plants do not like soggy conditions, but will flower more profusely if kept somewhat moist.
Soil pH: Prefers neutral.
Fertilizer: Fertilize monthly with 5-10-5 low nitrogen organically sourced fertilizer. Do not fertilize in winter indoors.
Diseases & Pests: Aphids and mealybugs can be troublesome; if detected, treat with an insecticidal soap or neem oil. Avoid botrytis by spacing properly, not wetting the foliage when watering, and keeping dead plant material, such as spent flowers and leaves, cleaned up.
