Start Geraniums From Seed In Early February For June Blooms
Gardeners are urged to order geranium seeds and plant in the first week of February or earlier with lights. The jar method uses a half full peat moss seedling setup kept at 72 76 F for 40 days to germinate. Seedlings transplant to 4 inch pots with a half soil half Red Earth mix and gradual temperature reduction to 62 F. Hybridizers improved paren ts for shorter bushier plants with many blooms and new multibloom series offer eight colors plus a mix at Stokes.
