How to Care for Violet Geraniums
After purchasing your Violet Geranium, be sure to read about our recommended care instructions to ensure a healthy and happy plant all season long!
When Should I Water My Geranium Violet Flowers?
Geraniums are drought-tolerant and heat-resistant, so they can tolerate some drying out between watering. We recommend watering your annuals once a week; adjust accordingly if you live in a particularly warm climate.
How do I Fertilize My Violet Geranium Flower?
We recommend you fertilize your Geranium once a week during the growing season using a slow-release granular or water-soluble fertilizer. This will help aid your annual to bloom many more flowers during their blooming season. If anything, fertilize at the time of planting.
How Much Sunlight Should My Violet Geranium Get?
The best place for your Geranium is in an area that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day. While they can survive in partially shaded areas, your plant will not have as much vigor.
Do I Need to Prune My Geranium?
It is important to deadhead the blooms of your Geranium as they start to die (browning or weakening wills signal this). Cutting off spent flowers will encourage the plant to focus its energies on producing more blooms.
