Inspire Appleblossom Geranium Seeds

This geranium is perfectly named, for "inspire" is just what its bouquets of pastel pink and blush do to your mood. A super-quick variety with gorgeous zoned foliage as well as those amazing blooms, it's the one geranium you simply MUST try this season!

Giant 4- to 5-inch bloom clusters begin appearing just 80 days or so after you sow the seed of this super-easy pelargonium. The flowers are soft-hued, but they make a huge impact, especially above the large, chocolate-zoned green leaves. What a showy plant to set into flowerpots marching up the porch steps, or to flank the chairs on the patio! Inspire reaches 12 to 14 inches high and a bit wider, its flowers beginning in late spring (if seeds are started indoors before last expected frost) and continue nonstop through summer. That's quite a show for any plant, and remarkable for a geranium!

Give this plant lots of sunshine, adequate water, and regular feeding. It will put up with amazing amounts of heat and humidity, and even tolerate drought for short periods, but flowers best if kept fed and watered. Let the soil dry out a bit between waterings, then give it a good soaking. It will repay you with more color than you'd have thought possible!
