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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrailing growth habit ideal for hanging baskets and containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBicolored red and white flowers for a striking display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong bloom season from summer into fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to grow from seed for beginner and experienced gardeners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pelargonium × hortorum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender perennial (often grown as annual)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile potting mix or garden soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailing, cascading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-11 (grown as annual elsewhere)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches (trailing stems can reach 24 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost; lightly cover with vermiculite; keep at 70-75°F (21-24°C); germination in 14-21 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Red Ice Geranium seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824649503030,"sku":"FOLIA2-895","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7387682375_2n2s.jpg?v=1793003919","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-red-ice-geranium-seeds-trailing-red-white-flowers-for-hanging-baskets","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
