Planting & Care
These unrooted cuttings require propagation before planting in the garden. To root, remove the lower leaves and insert the cut end into a well-draining rooting medium, such as a mix of perlite and peat moss. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light. High humidity can aid rooting; covering with a plastic bag or dome can help. Once roots have developed, transplant the young plants into individual pots or directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
For established plants, choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilize lightly during the growing season. Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. These geraniums are generally pest-resistant and deer-resistant, making them a low-maintenance choice for many gardens.
