Product Information
Well known for their ability to cascade with free flowering exuberance from window boxes and hanging baskets, trailing Geraniums are a must-have for every summer garden display, and the ‘Decora’ varieties are the most popular type across the UK and Europe.
This collection of trailing ivy-leaf Geraniums all have wonderfully bright, single flowers and are incredibly prolific, producing a non-stop torrent of colourful blooms from May until the frosts arrive in the autumn.
Geraniums will thrive in any warm, sun-drenched location and are tolerant of drought, perfect for those long hot summers, and you’ll be rewarded to an even better show if you occasionally feed with a high potash plant food and deadhead faded flowers by cutting the whole stem off at its base.

Remove faded flowers regularly to prolong blooming.
Care Information
- Give your plugs a little attention on arrival - unpack them immediately, and either mist them or stand them in water for an hour - they may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover. If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
We recommend that you leave them to settle for a day somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse. - When you're ready to pot on, use a good quality, multi-purpose compost, and fill 3-4in pots (7-10cm).
- Make a hole in the compost with a dibber or your finger, then holding each plug by its root ball, place it into the hole and gently firm the compost around it.
- For great results, we recommend using our Windowsill Planters or 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry as they don’t like to be left in standing water.
- Grow on either on a bright windowsill or a greenhouse for 3-4 weeks before potting up into containers or into flower beds.
- If planting directly into flower beds when all risk of frost has passed, prepare the ground well, removing weeds and digging in some compost or well-rotted manure if your soil is not already rich.
Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow. Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering. - Dead-head when flowers fade to encourage more blooms.
