Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine soil, as light aids germination. Maintain consistent moisture and a temperature of around 65–70°F (18–21°C). Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient and keep the seed tray in a bright, warm spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in a cooler, well-lit area before planting out after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. In subsequent years, Malviflorum Geranium is relatively low-maintenance; trim back spent flowers to encourage a tidy habit and divide clumps every few years if they become overcrowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Malviflorum Geranium seeds for garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776116425014,"sku":"FOLIA-150","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7316073326_ghcq.jpg?v=1792467820","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-malviflorum-geranium-seeds-purple-flowers-hardy-perennial-for-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
