3 White Geranium Cuttings - Drought-Tolerant Zonal Pelargonium
White Geranium Cuttings offer a classic, crisp look for containers, window boxes, and garden borders. These zonal pelargonium cuttings produce clusters of bright white flowers above rounded, scalloped green leaves, creating a clean contrast that pairs well with almost any color scheme. White geraniums are a favorite for summer bedding and patio displays because they bloom reliably and tolerate dry spells once established.
Zonal geraniums are tender perennials often grown as annuals in cooler climates. They perform best in full sun and well-drained soil, and they respond well to regular deadheading. The white flowers are attractive to butterflies and other pollinators, adding seasonal interest to sunny spots.

Planting & Care
Unpack cuttings promptly and inspect them for moisture. If roots are not yet visible, place the cut ends in a moist, well-draining rooting medium such as perlite or a seed-starting mix. Keep the medium evenly moist but not soggy, and provide bright, indirect light until roots form. Once rooted, transplant into individual pots using a well-drained potting mix.
Harden off rooted cuttings gradually before moving them outdoors after the last frost. Plant in full sun and water regularly during the first few weeks to help establishment. Once established, water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth, and remove spent flowers to promote continued blooming.
