Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before moving outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, Philippe Vapelle Geranium is relatively drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level to promote healthy new growth in spring. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
