When to sow Geranium Seeds 

Geranium seeds are best sown indoors from January to March. Early sowing gives plants plenty of time to develop before they are moved outside after the last frosts, resulting in earlier flowering displays throughout summer.  

How to grow Geraniums from seed 

Sow geranium seeds in moist seed compost and lightly cover them with a thin layer of compost. Place seed trays in a warm, bright location and keep the compost consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, pot them on individually and continue growing them in a frost-free environment. Harden plants off before moving them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. 

How long does it take for Geraniums to flower? 

Geraniums grown from seed typically flower in summer and continue blooming for many months with regular deadheading and care. Flowering time varies depending on the variety and sowing date, but early sown plants generally provide the longest displays. 

Why grow Geraniums from seed? 

Growing geraniums from seed is a cost-effective way to produce large numbers of plants for beds, borders, containers and hanging baskets. They are valued for their long flowering season, reliable performance and wide range of flower colours, making them a favourite choice for summer bedding displays. 

Where can you grow Geraniums? 

Geraniums are highly versatile and can be grown in borders, patio containers, window boxes and hanging baskets. They perform best in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering and feeding throughout the growing season will help encourage continuous flowering.  

Which Geranium variety should I choose? 

The best geranium variety depends on where you plan to grow it. Compact varieties are ideal for containers, pots and window boxes, while more vigorous types are well suited to borders and large bedding displays. Flowers are available in a wide range of colours, including red, pink, white, salmon and purple, allowing gardeners to create vibrant summer displays.
