- Species and varieties: Pelargonium, commonly known as geraniums, belong to the Geraniaceae family. There are over 200 species of Pelargonium, with popular varieties including Pelargonium zonale (zonal geraniums), Pelargonium peltatum (ivy-leaved geraniums), and Pelargonium graveolens (scented geraniums).
- Hybrid or heirloom: Pelargonium seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Hybrid varieties are often bred for specific traits such as color, size, and disease resistance, while heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, maintaining their original characteristics.
- Pruning and training: Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. Pruning leggy stems helps maintain a compact and bushy growth habit. Pinching back young plants can promote branching and fuller growth.
- Fertilization needs: Pelargonium geraniums benefit from regular fertilization. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
- Hardiness zones: Pelargonium geraniums are typically suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. In cooler climates, they are often grown as annuals or brought indoors during the winter months.
- Climate requirements: Pelargonium geraniums thrive in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil. They prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. They require full sun to partial shade for optimal growth.
