How to grow Rose Geranium seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors in early spring, sowing on the surface and pressing lightly into the mix.
• Outdoors: Sow directly only after nights are reliably warm, as germination needs warmth.

Prepare Your Materials

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

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of the mix and press lightly so the seed makes good contact; cover only with the thinnest dusting of mix.
• No special pre-treatment is needed, but sowing in early spring gives the longest growing season.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light; give seedlings strong light once they sprout.
• Temperature: Soil of at least 55°F (13°C) is needed for germination; warmer soil sprouts faster.
• Humidity: Keep the mix lightly moist, never soggy.

Germination

• Germination is variable — some seeds sprout within about two weeks, while others can take months.
• Do not discard the tray too early; keep it warm and lightly moist and let slow seeds have time.

Transplanting

• Move seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle, after all frost danger has passed.
• Space plants 12 inches apart in the garden.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to light shade; more sun brings stronger scent and more blooms.
• Water: Water when the top of the soil dries out; rose geranium dislikes sitting wet.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly during the growing season; heavy feeding is not needed.
• Pinch young plants to encourage bushier growth.

Bloom Time:

Small pink blooms appear during the warm season; the plant is grown mainly for its fragrant foliage.
