Pure white that brightens every flower bed. Gama F1 White is a hybrid bedding geranium with snow-white, dense flower heads 10–12 cm in diameter above compact, highly branched plants 30–35 cm tall. It blooms from June until frost, and thanks to the uniformity of F1 varieties, all the plants in the packet look identical – ideal for elegant, single-colour compositions.
Gama F1 is a series of hybrid bedding geraniums propagated from seed and bred to provide an even, predictable result: all the plants in the packet have the same compact habit (30–35 cm), the same colour and bloom at the same time. They branch vigorously from the base, producing large, dense flower heads 10–12 cm in diameter above rounded leaves with dark rings. Flowering begins in June and continues uninterrupted until the first frosts.
Unlike F2 mixtures, F1 varieties are uniform and earlier, making them ideal when planting geraniums in a row or in several identical window boxes. F1 geranium seeds are expensive – there are only a few in the packet, but each seed produces one fully developed plant, comparable to a nursery-grown plug plant.
Sowing (January – February, under cover): sow the seeds individually in 5–6 cm pots or seed trays, in a light, free-draining 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 about 14 days. Such early sowing requires a grow light for 12–14 hours a day; otherwise, the seedlings will become thin and leggy.
Pricking out: 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 grow the plants in a bright position – geraniums grown from seed develop slowly, and 15–18 weeks pass from sowing to flowering.
Planting out (May – June): after the last frosts have passed and a week of hardening off, plant the geraniums in flower beds at a spacing of 25–30 cm, or in containers and window boxes (approx. 3–5 l per plant). The soil should be fertile, humus-rich and well drained; choose a sunny position, although geraniums also tolerate light partial shade.
Care: water when the top layer of the growing medium has dried out – geraniums tolerate drought well but dislike overwatering. Feed weekly with fertiliser for flowering plants, preferably one with an increased potassium content. Remove spent flower heads at the base to encourage the formation of new ones.
White geranium is versatile: it highlights the intense colours of other plants and brightens compositions in balcony window boxes, patio pots and white gardens. It looks excellent planted in a row along a path or in groups in a flower bed with lavender, sage and blue lobelia. The flowers are also visible in the evening, making this a good choice near a seating area. In autumn, the best specimens can be dug up, cut back and overwintered in a bright, cool (8–12°C) room.
There are only a few F1 geranium seeds in the packet, so sow each one separately in a small pot and do not skimp on warmth: at 20–25°C they germinate in two weeks, while on a cold windowsill they may rot. Without a grow light, it is better to postpone sowing until the second half of February – the plants will flower slightly later, but they will not become leggy.
