Most
of us are starving for color in our landscape and pots. The one plant
that is the most popular in early spring is the famous Geranium. Why?
Because you can buy them in full bloom and lush plants. I do love the
plant myself but with the Southern heat they tend to burn out in the
summer. No fear, you can make your geraniums last and bloom all summer
long. How? Place them in a semi-shady area. They love morning sun for
about 5 to 6 hours. They are heavy feeders so remember to fertilize
with any all purpose fertilizer that is high in phosphorus. This is the
blooming power in fertilizer. If you dead head the
spent flowers then they should bloom for months to come.
For
instant impact buy your geraniums in hanging baskets. We carry them at
Botanica Gardens with other seasonal flowers mixed in for overflowing
color all summer long.
