Planting & Care

Sow Nimbus Geranium seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last expected frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of around 65 to 70°F and provide bright, indirect light. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting into the garden.

Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency once plants are settled. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. In colder zones, apply a light winter mulch for extra protection.
