How to grow Peppermint Geranium seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Sow from late winter to early spring in a greenhouse or bright windowsill.
• Outdoors: Plant out in early summer after frost; in cold climates grow in pots and overwinter indoors.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow shallowly, about 1/8 inch deep; pelargonium seeds need light to germinate.
• Sow fresh seed as soon as possible; stored seed is best sown in early spring.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Needed for germination; give bright light once sprouted.
• Temperature: At least 55°F (13°C); around 70°F (21°C) is ideal.

Germination

• Germination usually occurs within 2 weeks, though some seed can take months; do not discard the tray too soon.
• Prick out seedlings into individual pots when large enough to handle.

Transplanting

• Grow on under cover for at least the first winter in cold regions.
• Plant out in early summer with protection from hard frost.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to light shade; give midday shade in hot climates.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry; keep drier in winter.
• Fertilizer: Feed every two weeks during active growth; do not feed in winter.
• Deadhead spent flowers consistently; trim back by one-third when growth resumes in spring.

Bloom Time:

Late spring to early summer; small white flowers.
