The Ivy Geranium



The ivy geranium is great in hanging baskets where you want a trailing vine like plant with colorful flowers. Use it in window boxes and planters like the Swiss!

Planting Tips For Ivy
  • Ever versatile, geraniums can flourish inside and outside both in planters and garden beds.
  • Make sure you plants get at least 6 hours of sun each day and are protected from strong winds.
  • Plant the geranium in an area that has good drainage and slightly acidic soil.

    Keeping geraniums in containers is nice if you live in a climate with a harsh winter – you can bring the plant in in the cold weather and set it back out when the last frost is over. Make sure you give it a planter that is large enough for the plant and take care to not overwater.

    Indoor geraniums will flower if put in a very sunny spot. Make sure they are in a container large enough for the plant with good drainage. Fertilize every month spring through summer and every other month fall through winter.

    Make sure you check the Ivy for signs of pests and diseases
