Red Geranium Seeds

The bedding plants commonly called geraniums usually belong to Pelargonium, a group with strong southern African roots. Their rounded flower clusters became familiar in pots, window boxes and seasonal displays, giving them a domestic garden character quite different from hardy cranesbill geraniums. Red is one of the most recognizable colors in that tradition.

Use it to create a clear accent against pale walls, simple containers or green foliage. A repeated red theme can connect several small planting areas without needing a large flower bed. Starting from seed allows the plant's branching and leaves to develop alongside the eventual flowers. Treat this as a flowering pelargonium project, rather than assuming the cultural requirements of every plant called geranium are the same.
