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! Pkt is 10 seeds.
Primarily grown as a bedding and container plant (planters, window boxes, hanging baskets), it is also useful as filler in the border and grown indoors in the house or conservatory. Pelargonium x hortorum, Zonal Geranium, is one plant that everyone knows by name. Plants grow 15-24 inches tall and produce 5 inch heads of pink, salmon, red, and white. Leaves are heart shaped from 3-5 inches across and have scalloped margins. They often have a darker green zone in the center of them, thus the common name

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
