Geranium - Pink - Pelargonium zonale - Elegant colour for lively terraces and borders - Fresh Seeds

Pink geranium (Pelargonium zonale) is a classic choice for containers and garden planting, loved for its rich pink flowers and timeless look. It forms dense, lush clumps reaching around 40 cm in height and stays full of colour and freshness from summer through to autumn. With good resilience to changing conditions and the right care, it flowers steadily for many months. It looks excellent in pots, window boxes, and other containers, bringing bright colour and a neat, elegant style to your outdoor space.

Sowing depth

Sow geranium seeds at a depth of about 0.5 cm. This covering helps maintain the moisture and light access needed for successful germination.

Sowing time under cover

Sow pink geranium from January to February under cover, such as in a heated greenhouse, a tunnel, or on a warm, sunny windowsill. This early start helps produce strong, compact young plants that are ready to be transplanted in May.

Planting time

Plant out in May or at the beginning of June, once the risk of frost has passed. Warmth and sunshine help the plants establish quickly and begin flowering generously.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of 20 x 30 cm when planting. This gives the plants room to grow and branch freely, forming dense, flowering displays without competing too closely with each other.

Flowering period

Pink geranium flowers continuously from June to October. It is one of the most reliable ornamental plants and can still look fresh and colourful late in the season, when many other plants are already past their best.

Growing

Geranium grows best in sunny, warm positions sheltered from strong wind. For the best results, plant it in fertile, free draining compost or soil. Water regularly but avoid overwatering, as balanced moisture supports healthy growth and long flowering. Remove faded flower heads regularly to encourage new buds and extend the flowering period. It is straightforward to care for, making it suitable for both experienced gardeners and those just starting out.
