Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors in late winter or early spring. Use a sterile seed-starting mix and sow seeds shallowly, covering lightly with vermiculite. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in a bright, sunny location. Harden off before planting outdoors after the last frost.
For hanging baskets, use a quality potting mix and ensure containers have drainage holes. Water regularly but avoid overwatering; trailing geraniums prefer slightly dry conditions. Fertilize every two weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to promote new growth. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade to protect from scorching.
