Planting & Care
Sow Karmina Geranium seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not soggy. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for germination, which typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Once established, Karmina Geranium is relatively drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and trim back after flowering to maintain a tidy habit. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in winter to protect the roots.
