How to grow Lemon Scented Geranium seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 8–10 weeks before the last frost — the reliable way.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost only in warm climates.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Fine seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow about 1/8 inch deep and cover very lightly with fine mix.
• No pre-treatment is needed.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light after sowing.
• Temperature: Around 70°F (21°C).
• Humidity: A dome or wrap helps keep the surface evenly moist.

Germination

• Seedlings emerge in 7–21 days.
• Remove the cover once sprouts appear; give strong light so seedlings stay stocky.

Transplanting

• Pot up when seedlings have a few true leaves.
• Move outdoors after the last frost; harden off first.
• Give each plant about a foot of space.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to part shade.
• Water: Water when the surface dries — scented geraniums dislike soggy soil.
• Fertilizer: Light feeding; rich feeding makes soft, leggy growth.
• Pinch the stem tips for bushier plants; bring pots indoors before the first frost in cold climates.

Bloom Time:

Pale blooms appear in summer; the scented foliage is the main attraction all season.
