Seed-propagated varieties are naturally more compact and uniform than older cutting-grown plants, branch vigorously and flower continuously from June until frost. The F2 mix is a generation obtained from F1 varieties: the plants are somewhat more varied in color and habit, but the package is cheaper – ideal when you want a colorful, lively display rather than a perfectly uniform row.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeranium seeds are expensive and large, which is why there are only a few in the packet – but each one produces a full-sized plant that will replace a purchased plug costing several złoty during the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (January – February, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow the seeds individually into 5–6 cm pots or seed trays, in a light, well-drained seed-starting mix, covering them with a thin layer (approx. 3 mm). Maintain a temperature of 20–25°C and constant, moderate moisture – germination takes around 14 days. Such early sowing requires supplementary lighting with a grow lamp for 12–14 hours a day; otherwise the seedlings will become thin and leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings have 2–3 leaves, transplant them into pots 8–10 cm in diameter. From this point, lower the temperature to 16–18°C and keep the plants in bright light – geraniums grown from seed grow slowly, and 15–18 weeks pass from sowing to flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (May – June):\u003c\/strong\u003e after the risk of frost has passed and a week of hardening off, plant the plants in beds 25–30 cm apart or into containers and boxes (approx. 3–5 l per plant). The soil should be fertile, humus-rich and well drained; choose a sunny position, although geraniums will also tolerate light partial shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e water when the top layer of the growing medium has dried out – geraniums tolerate drought well but dislike overwatering. Feed weekly with fertilizer for flowering plants, preferably one with an increased potassium content. Remove spent flower heads at the base to encourage the formation of new ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color mix works well wherever a cheerful, multicolored display is desired: \u003cstrong\u003ein flower beds\u003c\/strong\u003e in groups of 5–7 plants, \u003cstrong\u003ein balcony boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e, pots on the terrace and by the entrance to the house, as well as \u003cstrong\u003ein urban and rural flower beds\u003c\/strong\u003e. Geraniums tolerate heat and short periods of neglect in watering, making them one of the safest plants for a sunny balcony. In autumn, the finest specimens can be dug up, cut back and overwintered in a bright, cool room (8–12°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGardener's tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f5f3ee; border-left: 4px solid #656B39; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 1em 0;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eEvery geranium seed is valuable, so do not sow them in a shared tray; sow them individually into small pots instead – this will prevent losses when pricking out. If you do not have a grow lamp, delay sowing until the end of February and place the pots in the brightest south-facing window; the plants will flower 2–3 weeks later, but they will be healthier than leggy January seedlings grown in a dark kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eLatin name\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003ePelargonium × hortorum\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eVariety\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eF2 mix\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003emix (red, pink, salmon, white)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e30–35 cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003esunny\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSeasonality\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eperennial grown as an annual\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSowing time under cover\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eJanuary – February\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003ePlanting-out time\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eMay – June\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eFlowering period\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eJune – October\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSpacing\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e25–30 cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e0.05 g (~5–10 seeds)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eTraditional\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eW.
