Pink Geranium Seeds

Pink bedding geraniums bring a softer interpretation to the window-box and patio-pot tradition of Pelargonium. Their clustered blossoms differ from the single flower faces of many annuals, so a planting can gain texture as well as color. The familiar common name connects them with everyday domestic horticulture, while their botanical roots lie largely in southern Africa.

Use pink as a bridge between white and deeper flower colors, or keep a restrained palette that emphasizes the rounded heads. Place seedlings where their developing foliage has room to form an attractive base beneath the blooms. They are best understood as flowering pelargoniums; a packet labeled geranium should not automatically be treated like a hardy perennial cranesbill intended for a woodland border.
