-
Botanical name: Pelargonium × hortorum Multibloom F1 Pink; commonly called geranium, but not a true Geranium.
-
Seed form: Scarified seed; the preparation is already complete, so sow as supplied and do not scarify again.
-
Best sowing time: Start in protected warmth from late winter into spring; plant outside after frost risk, or use another mild local window before peak heat.
-
Position: Full sun; give afternoon protection in very hot districts.
-
Sow depth and light: Cover by about 1 mm with fine mix or vermiculite. Light is not required for germination.

-
Spacing: 25 to 30 cm apart in beds or containers.

Why Grow This Variety

Growing Notes
- Sow the locally supplied scarified seed as-is; do not nick, sand or soak it again.

- Water thoroughly, then let the upper mix begin to dry before watering again.
- Deadhead complete spent flower trusses and protect plants from frost.
