It requires a good bright location with full to part sun for 6 or more hours.

Boldly Hot Pink Geranium Care

A systemic continuous fertilizer added to container plants will keep your geraniums flourishing, as well as a soil pH of 6.0 to 6.5. Average watering schedules will do, and keep an eye out for aphids and other insects. Address with insecticidal soap or light pesticide as required, but this is an easy care annual that will give you season long blooms.

Deadheading is required as the plant will slow blooming and needs help dropping its spent flowers. If plants get leggy, prune lightly to increase branching and budding for the best color. In the garden landscape, dressing with compost will reduce weeding and promote plant health.

Boldly Hot Pink Geranium Spacing

Give geraniums plenty of space to spread out, 12 to 20 inches is fine. They will reach 10 to 12 inches in height and make a great foreground planting for taller annuals and perennials or look great in mass plantings on their own. Pair with trailing annuals and contrasting color mounding annuals in your favorite container for season long color.
