25 Red Ice Geranium Seeds - Trailing Red & White Flowers for Hanging Baskets

Red Ice Geranium is a striking trailing geranium prized for its bicolored blooms that blend bright red with crisp white, creating a lively display in containers and hanging baskets. The cascading habit makes it an excellent choice for spilling over the edges of pots, window boxes, and patio planters, where the vivid flowers can be enjoyed up close. This variety brings long-lasting color to summer gardens and is a favorite for adding vertical interest and a cheerful, cottage-garden feel to outdoor spaces.

Easy to grow from seed, Red Ice Geranium performs best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. The plants are tender perennials often grown as annuals in cooler climates, rewarding gardeners with abundant blooms throughout the season when given regular watering and occasional feeding. Whether you are a seasoned seed starter or a beginner, these seeds offer a rewarding way to grow your own trailing geraniums for seasonal color.

Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a sterile seed-starting mix and sow seeds shallowly, covering lightly with vermiculite or a thin layer of mix. Keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy, and maintain a warm temperature around 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best germination. Once seedlings have developed two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in bright light. Gradually acclimate young plants to outdoor conditions after the danger of frost has passed.

In the garden or containers, choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings, and feed with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. For trailing geraniums, pinch back young plants to encourage bushiness and more flowering stems. Remove spent blooms to promote continued flowering. In cooler climates, plants can be overwintered indoors in a bright, cool room.
