Planting Tips

Where to Plant

Geranium Rozanne flourishes in both sun and partial shade. It’s versatile, but a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal for optimal blooming.

Light

This plant loves sunlight but appreciates some afternoon shade in hotter climates. Adequate light ensures vibrant blooms and healthy growth.

Soil

Well-drained, fertile soil is best for Geranium Rozanne. It's adaptable to different soil types but thrives in conditions that are moist yet well-draining.

Spacing

Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart. This allows each plant enough room to spread and flourish without overcrowding.

When to Plant

The best time to plant Geranium Rozanne is in the spring or early fall. This timing allows the plant to establish itself before extreme weather conditions.

How to Plant

Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the plant in, backfill with soil, and water well to establish.

Plant Care Tips

Watering

Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilizing

Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer to encourage robust growth and blooming throughout the season.

Pruning

Deadheading is not necessary, but cutting back midsummer can rejuvenate the plant and encourage more blooms.

By Season

Spring Care

Spring care involves cleaning up any dead foliage and beginning regular watering as the new growth appears. It's also the right time to apply fertilizer.

Summer Care

Maintain consistent moisture in summer. If the plant looks tired, cut it back to rejuvenate it for fall blooming.

Fall Care

As the plant begins to die back, reduce watering. This is also a good time to divide overcrowded clumps, if necessary.

In winter, Geranium Rozanne is dormant. Little care is needed, but a layer of mulch can help protect it in colder climates.
