Know before you buy
No, the Rosebud Appleblossom Geranium is unique because its flower heads only partially open, maintaining a tight, rosebud-like appearance throughout the season.
This variety thrives in full sun to partial shade. For the most continuous blooming from spring through fall, ensure it receives at least six hours of sunlight daily.
No, the Rosebud Appleblossom Geranium is toxic if ingested by pets. It is best to plant it in areas where your cats or dogs cannot reach it.
These plants have low deer resistance. If you live in an area with a high deer population, you may need to use protective netting or deterrents to keep them safe.
These geraniums require well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Aim for a slightly acidic soil pH between 6.0 and 6.5 to ensure the plant remains healthy and vigorous.
While it is a continuous bloomer, removing spent flower heads can help maintain the plant's tidy, mounded appearance and encourage fresh growth throughout the season.
