25 Burgundy Ivy Leaf Geranium Seeds – Trailing Geranium for Hanging Baskets

Burgundy Ivy Leaf Geranium is a trailing geranium prized for its cascading stems and rich, deep burgundy blooms. Also known as ivy geranium, this variety is a favorite for hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers, where its glossy, ivy-shaped leaves and trailing habit create a full, colorful display. The vibrant flowers appear throughout the warm season, adding elegant color to patios, porches, and balconies.

Easy to grow from seed, this geranium offers a rewarding way to fill your garden with long-lasting color. Its trailing nature makes it an excellent choice for spilling over the edges of planters, and it can also be used in mixed containers or as a ground cover in frost-free areas.

Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, pressing them lightly into the soil surface without covering completely, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bottom heat if possible. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors after hardening off gradually.

Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder climates, bring containers indoors before the first frost or treat as annuals.
