Gorgeous Geraniums

Geraniums in the plant nursery at Dedrick's Farm Market

Not sure what kind of flowering plants to give as a gift? It’s hard to go wrong with Geraniums. They bloom best with 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight, but if they can get 6 to 8 they’ll do well too!

• Allow soil to dry to some extent between waterings, then water thoroughly.

• To encourage blooming, deadhead spent flowers regularly.

• To promote bushiness and curtail legginess, pinch back the stems.

• Use a well-draining potting mixture when planting in containers. Geraniums do not like to sit in soggy, compacted soil.

• For maximum bloom, place the plants in an area where they will get 4-6 hours of sunlight.
