Planting & Care

Sow Calliope Lavender Geranium seeds indoors in late winter or early spring. Use a sterile seed-starting mix and barely cover the seeds with vermiculite or a light sprinkle of soil, as light aids germination. Maintain consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions after the danger of frost has passed.

For best performance, plant in a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilize every two to three weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. In colder zones, bring containers indoors before the first frost or treat as annuals.
