Planting & Care

1. Planting:The Geranium Rozanne spreads several feet each growing season, so leave room when planting. Choose a location with damp and well-draining soil that receives full (6+ hours) to partial (4-6 hours) of sun daily. If the plant gets too much shade, it will lose its dense foliage and produce fewer flowers. However, the warmer your climate, the more shade your geranium will need.

2. Watering:Keep your Geranium Rozannes soil moist. Once established, it can better tolerate drought.

3. Fertilizing:Add a balanced, granular fertilizer to your geranium in spring.

4. Pruning:In late summer, you may need to trim back your Geranium Rozanne if it looks too ragged. New flowers and foliage will take its place. In fall, you can also cut back your geranium to the soil and then cover it with mulch to protect it when the soil freezes.
