Growing Tips for Your Geranium Breakaway Red Seeds:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, about ¼ inch deep. Maintain a warm temperature of 72-76°F (22-24°C) for optimal germination. Keep the soil consistently moist.

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting out after all danger of frost has passed. Choose a location with full sun (morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal in hotter climates) and well-drained soil.

Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage more continuous blooming.
