How to Grow
Geranium - Hardy Mixed
- Pot up geranium plants into 9cm pots and grow them on in frost free conditions.
- When plugs are fully rooted into their pots, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days and transplant into borders.
- Choose a sunny or semi shaded position on any well drained soil.
- Work some well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil prior to planting. Firm plants into the ground and water well to settle the soil.
- Aftercare
- Water regularly until fully established.
- Remove old foliage and faded flower stems throughout the growing season to promote continuous fresh growth. In autumn, cut the foliage back completely.
- Apply a mulch of well rotted manure to the base of the plant in spring.
- Lift and divide hardy geranium plants every third year to maintain their vigour.
