Geranium seeds: Maverick Star

From the stable of top quality Geranium seed, comes this impressive strain which boasts attractive, bicolored blooms of vibrant pink and white. It is earlier flowering and produces more flower stems than conventional Geraniums.

Sowing:

Germinate at a constant soil temperature of 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining seed sowing mix. Apply a very fine sprinkling of sowing mix or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag until after germination which usually takes 3-21 days.

Growing:

Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. After 5-6 weeks, move to 10cm (4in) pots. Begin to apply liquid fertilizer 3-4 weeks after final potting. Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in a sunny spot.

Aftercare:

Fertilize monthly, water when soil becomes dry and deadhead regularly to keep plants blooming well.
