Press seeds gently into the surface and cover lightly with vermiculite or a thin layer of soil. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Provide bright light after seedlings emerge to encourage sturdy growth. Once seedlings have several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually and transplant outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly but avoid overwatering, as geraniums are susceptible to root rot. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer to promote continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new buds. In colder zones, bring containers indoors before the first frost or treat as annuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Calliope Hot Pink Geranium seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824640196918,"sku":"FOLIA2-849","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7408397801_rfxp.jpg?v=1793003825","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-calliope-hot-pink-geranium-seeds-zonal-ivy-hybrid-flower-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
