This is a great annual for Spring, Summer, and Fall. With the mounding habit of the American Geranium, this is a lovely choice for mixed containers and beds.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
The Americana Geranium prefers full sun to partial shade and a bit milder climates. It prefers average, moist but well-drained soil. Trimming back dead blossoms encourages new blooms. Please remember, containers aren’t as drought resistant, they may need a little extra TLC and consistent watering if in containers!
