Description
The best-trailing geranium from seed, equal in quality to those available as expensive cutting raised types.

Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors 8-10 weeks before planting out after all danger of frost has passed |
|---|
| Sowing depth: | Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix in pots or trays, and cover with a very fine sprinkling of sowi |
|---|
Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F).
After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 3-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
Gradually acclimatize plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost into hanging baskets or containers spaced 10-15cm (4-6in) apart.
Aftercare Instructions
For best results, provide a light, well-drained soil in full sun.
