Sowing Instructions
Sowing Indoors: Begin by making a firm seed bed using a good quality seed compost in shallow pots or trays, water using a watering can until damp. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface, lightly cover with vermiculite and firm down, water them in using a watering can and fine rose. Cover the trays with some plastic, we recommend painting dust sheets as it is a light plastic, ensuring that the plastic does not touch the seed bed. Keep the trays or pots at steady temperature of around 10-15 degrees, germination should take 16-30 days. Once germinated, remove the plastic and let them have some light as they will stretch for the light and become leggy if light is absent. Once they are around 1in/3-4cm in height, they can be transplanted into a bigger pot to grow some more before planting out into the garden once the frost has passed.
Sowing Outdoors: Sow outdoors in the autumn. In a dappled or partial shaded spot, level the area with a rake. Sprinkle the seeds out and then rake over with a light layer of soil. They should then germinate the following spring.
Geraniums may germinate irregularly so please don’t discard trays prematurely.
