Know before you buy
No, these geraniums are bred for uniform, compact growth, which significantly reduces the need for plant growth regulators compared to other varieties.
Not at all. The chocolate-colored foliage is specifically bred to maintain its deep intensity even when exposed to strong, direct sunlight.
Maintain a soil temperature between 70-75°F and lightly cover the seeds with a growing medium. You can expect germination to occur within 5 to 12 days.
These geraniums are best suited for 4-inch pots or larger. Given their mature height of 13-15 inches and spread of 11-13 inches, they need at least this much space to thrive.
Film-coated seeds are treated with a thin layer to improve flowability and handling during planting, while raw seeds are untreated. Both options provide the same high germination rates.
