Geranium Plants
|
Description: Geraniums have scalloped leaves and clusters of five-petalled
flowers. Variations include double flowers and dark or white leaf
variegation. Ivy geranium leaves resemble English ivy; shoots cascade over
the edges of containers. Colors include red, pink, salmon, orange, magenta,
purple, white and bicolors. Different species have fragrances including rose,
lemon, peppermint, apple and nutmeg scents. They make excellent bedding and
blooming plants.
Special care: Water when the soil is fairly dry and remove excess water.
They do best in direct sunlight but grow well in partial sun also. Give
potted plants all-purpose plant food monthly. Cut back a third of the growth
from plants kept over winter. Keep foliage dry.
