The Pretty Polly Scented Geranium

Pretty Polly Scented Geranium is a compact growing flower with pink flowers that have maroon spots. A great garden plant which has a slight aroma of almonds.

Planting Tips For Pretty Polly Scented
  • For outdoor planting, geraniums will grow just as good in containers as they will in the garden bed.
  • Geraniums like the sun, but not too much in climates that are very hot. Put them in a spot that will get 6 to 8 hours of sun each day. Strong winds can damage these plants so make sure the area is protected.
  • Plant the geranium in an area that has good drainage and slightly acidic soil.

    If planting in containers, choose planters that will be large enough to support growth of the plant. If you find the plant wilting between watering, this may be a sign that it needs to be repotted. Make sure there is adequate drainage and take care not to 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.
