Planting & Care

Sow Salome Geranium seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface without covering completely, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-30 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off gradually before moving outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant in well-drained soil in a location with full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, Salome Geranium is relatively drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and cut back foliage in late winter to promote fresh spring growth. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
