Flame of the Woods Geranium, also known as Jungle Geranium, is a striking tropical perennial prized for its vibrant red-orange blooms.

Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine soil, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a warm temperature around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually and transplant outdoors after acclimation.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the growing season, but avoid overhead watering to prevent foliage diseases. Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer for best blooming. In cooler climates, dig up plants before frost or grow them in containers that can be moved indoors for the winter.
