Geranium - White - Pelargonium zonale - Romantic touch in any pot - Fresh Seeds

White geranium (Pelargonium zonale) brings a clean, elegant look and a bright, fresh feel to any planting. Its pure white flowers bloom generously throughout summer, forming eye catching clusters above lush green foliage. The plant grows to around 40 cm, creating compact, dense clumps that highlight the crisp colour of the petals. It is an excellent choice for lovers of subtle, classic arrangements, and it suits gardens as well as pots, window boxes, and other containers. White geranium is a timeless favourite that adds calm and harmony wherever it is grown.

Sowing depth

Sow white geranium seeds at a depth of about 0.5 cm. This is an ideal level that helps provide the light and moisture needed for quick, even germination. Lightly firming the compost helps keep moisture stable.

Sowing time under cover

The best time to sow is January or February. Early sowing under cover, for example indoors or in a greenhouse, helps you raise strong, healthy young plants ready for transplanting in spring. With this early start, the plants tend to flower sooner and more abundantly in summer.

Planting time

Plant out in May or at the beginning of June, once the risk of frost has passed. Young plants settle in easily at this time, building a strong root system and developing into a dense, flowering display.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of 20 x 30 cm between plants. This gives each geranium enough room to branch and show its full beauty. Planting too close together can weaken growth and reduce flowering.

Flowering period

White geranium flowers from June to October. It is a long flowering plant that can still look fresh in late summer. The snow white blooms contrast beautifully with the green leaves and brighten any space, from traditional beds to modern container displays.

Growing

White geranium is a perennial plant, but it is usually grown as an annual in cooler conditions. It prefers sunny, warm positions sheltered from wind. For best results, use fertile, free draining compost or soil that allows excess water to run off easily. Water regularly, especially during hot weather, and remove faded flowers to encourage new buds and keep the plant blooming into autumn. It combines well with other geranium varieties, as well as begonias or lobelia, to create elegant, balanced arrangements.
