Cultivation:  There are two types of Zonal Geraniums. Those that are grown from seed... which are small flowered, and the large flowered variety (pictured), which are grown from cuttings. The small flowered variety is good for beds where large amounts of area needs to be filled. The large flowered variety is ideal for containers, houseplants and small beds. The brightly colored flowers of Geranium's are excellent for attracting hummingbirds.

Plant in fertile, well drained soil in full sun or partial shade after danger of hard frost has passed. Feed every 2 - 3 weeks. Plants can be moved indoors to full sun before first frost.
