Now you can grow exotic, lushly-blooming Ivy-Leaf Geraniums from seed! Summer Showers is an American-bred hybrid with large, 4 1/2- to 5-inchflowerheads that cascade out of baskets or trail over the side of windowboxes amid foliage that looks like English ivy! A very profuse bloomer, it begins just 3 1/2 months from sowing and continues all summer and into fall, with bushy 12-inch plants bearing loads of bloom-heavy stems. The flowerheads are less tightly-held than those of traditional Geraniums--they tumble and hang in a loose, airy fashion that accentuates the number of blooms. This mix contains many shades of red, pink, lavender, blush-white, and burgundy.
Unique and so easy to care for, Summer Showers belongs on the blazing patio or beneath the front windows, where its glory can be enjoyed over the very long bloom season.
Easy to start from seed indoors in late winter or outdoors in early spring, it blooms all summer and may winter over indoors. Position in full sun and well-drained soil. Pkt is 5 seeds.
