Container #39: Welcoming Geraniums

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

My neighbor’s geranium containers provide a colorful welcome to her front door. Thank you, Heidi, for allowing me to share!

RECIPE:
(5) Zonal geraniums, species unknown, various colors

TIPS:
• Using steps is a simple way to showcase a collection of containers.
• Geraniums need frequent deadheading (removal of spent blossoms) in order to maintain continuous blooms.
• Geraniums are heavy feeders. Fertilize every two weeks according to fertilizer directions.
• Geraniums prefer moist but well-drained soil. Water as soon as the soil appears to be on the dry side.
