Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix; do not bury deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy and maintain a warm temperature around 70–75°F. Germination typically occurs in 7–14 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarden off seedlings gradually before moving them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil or containers. Water moderately, allowing the top of the soil to dry slightly between waterings, and feed every 2–4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Remove faded flowers regularly to promote continued blooming. In cold climates, plants can be brought indoors before frost for overwintering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Presto Violet Geranium seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776109904182,"sku":"FOLIA-074","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7390979119_os0v.jpg?v=1792467681","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-presto-violet-geranium-seeds-compact-zonal-geranium-for-containers-beds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
