Geranium Bulls Eye Mix Seeds produce F1 zonal pelargoniums with rich chocolate-coloured foliage and bright mixed flower trusses for sunny beds and containers.
Grow Guide: How to grow BullsEye seed pelargoniums in South Africa.
Quick Grow Facts
-
Growth type: Tender upright perennial, commonly grown as seasonal bedding or a container annual where frost occurs.
-
Botanical name: Pelargonium × hortorum BullsEye F1 Mix; commonly called geranium, but not a true Geranium.
-
Seed form: Coated seed; sow as supplied and do not scarify or remove the coating.
-
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.
-
Germination: Keep the medium close to 23°C; allow about 7–14 days for visible home-tray emergence.
-
Spacing: 30–35 cm apart in beds or larger containers.
-
Mature size: Approximately 30–35 cm high and 30–35 cm wide.
-
Flower outcome: Bright cherry, light-pink, red, salmon and scarlet series colours above dark foliage. A small mix packet does not guarantee every colour or equal ratios.
Why Grow This Variety
- Chocolate-coloured foliage adds contrast even between flower flushes.
- Upright plants suit beds, patio pots and mixed containers.
- Coated seed is easy to place one per cell.
- Bright mixed flowers provide varied colour without implying identical plants.
Garden Uses
Use BullsEye Mix as a dark-foliage feature in sunny borders, larger pots or mixed containers with enough airflow around each plant.
Growing Notes
- Keep the coating evenly moist after sowing so it softens, but do not leave the tray waterlogged.
- Move seedlings into bright light as soon as they emerge.
- Use free-draining soil, water early in the day and deadhead complete spent trusses.
- No support or routine pinching is needed.
