FAQs
Can I leave these plants outside in winter?
No, Geranium Horizon Scarlet is not frost-hardy. They should be moved to a protected, frost-free location once temperatures drop.
Are these suitable for indoor growth?
These are primarily outdoor bedding plants. They require high levels of direct sunlight that are difficult to replicate indoors.
How far apart should I plant these in the ground?
For a dense display, space them about 20-25cm apart to allow for their compact growth habit.
Do I need to feed these plants?
Yes, regular feeding with a liquid fertilizer during the summer months will help maintain the intense red color and promote continuous blooming.
Does the 3-pack come with decorative pots?
No, the plants are supplied in standard 9cm grower pots. Decorative pots shown in images are for illustrative purposes.
When should I deadhead my geraniums?
Remove faded flowers as soon as they appear to redirect energy back into the plant for new growth.
Troubleshooting
Flowers are wilting despite regular watering
Ensure the container has adequate drainage; the roots may be sitting in waterlogged soil, leading to rot.
Plant is growing tall and 'leggy' with few flowers
This is likely caused by insufficient light. Move the plant to a brighter location with more direct sun exposure.
Yellowing leaves
Often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Check the soil moisture and ensure the plant is not sitting in a saucer of standing water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your three plants arrive, transplant them as soon as possible into their final location. Use a nutrient-rich, well-draining compost if planting in pots. Water the plants regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between applications, but take care not to water the foliage directly to prevent fungal issues. During the active growth season, applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks will encourage more vibrant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers by pinching or cutting the stem back to the main plant to promote continuous flowering throughout the summer.
