Planting & Care
Sow Hexham Lace Geranium seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C) and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Germination can be slow and uneven, typically taking 14–30 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions.
Plant out in the garden after the danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In late fall, cut back foliage after it dies down to tidy the plant for winter.
