Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about growing zonal geraniums from seed, encouraging flowering, and caring for young plants.
How do you grow zonal geraniums from seeds?
Start zonal geranium seeds indoors in a clean, well-drained seed-starting mix. Maintain a temperature of about 21–24°C (70–75°F), keep the medium lightly moist, and provide bright light after seedlings emerge. Follow the instructions on your seed packet because sowing depth and germination requirements can vary by cultivar.
How long does it take for zonal geranium seeds to flower?
Zonal geraniums grown from seed may begin flowering around 12–16 weeks after sowing, although some varieties take longer. Flowering time depends on the cultivar, light levels, temperature, and growing conditions. Starting seeds early indoors can help plants develop before the outdoor flowering season.
Can zonal geraniums grow in pots indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Zonal geraniums can grow in pots indoors or outdoors when they receive sufficient bright light and have well-drained soil. Place indoor plants near a sunny window, provide good air circulation, and water when the surface of the growing medium begins to dry. Outdoors, protect plants from frost and provide some afternoon shade in very hot weather.
