Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
The Ivy Geranium prefers full sun to partial shade and a bit milder climates. It matures to about 14-18” tall and about 18-24” in wide and prefers average, moist but well-drained soil. Trimming back dead blossoms will help to encourage new blooms. Please remember, containers aren’t as drought resistant, they may need a little extra TLC and consistent watering if in containers!
