How to grow Rose Scented Geranium seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds in early spring in a greenhouse or on a warm, bright windowsill.
• Outdoors: Transplant seedlings outside in early summer, after all danger of frost has passed.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Plastic wrap or humidity dome (until germination)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of moist mix and press in lightly, or cover with only a fine sprinkling of mix.
• No special pre-treatment is needed; sow stored seed in early spring.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light until germination; move to full sun once seedlings are up.
• Temperature: Keep at a minimum of 55°F (13°C) for germination.
• Humidity: A cover helps retain moisture; ventilate once sprouts appear.

Germination

• Germination usually takes place within about 2 weeks, though it can sometimes take longer.
• Grow seedlings on in a sheltered spot for their first season before planting out.

Transplanting

• Prick out seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle.
• Harden off gradually before moving outdoors.
• Space plants about 12 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun.
• Water: Water moderately; allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilizer: Light feeding during the growing season is sufficient.
• Bring containers indoors before the first frost in cold climates.
