How To Grow Geraniums From Flower Seeds: The best way to start these top germinating seeds is to start indoors 10 weeks before the last frost date is expected. Using starter trays is an easy and effective method of planting along with a good free-draining seed sowing mix. Press the flowers seeds into the soil mix, but do not cover the seeds by more than 1/8 inch. Keep the seeds consistently moist ensuring the soil does not dry out. Seed germination will always drop if seeds dry completely out, get wet again, dry completely out, etc. Five to six weeks after sowing the flower seeds, transplant seedlings into 3 - 4 inch pots and allow to grow on. Harden the plants off for 10 to 15 days and transplant outdoors once danger of frost has passed. Geranium care includes using a liquid fertilizer monthly and watering regularly. Be sure to remove spent blooms to keep plants blooming well during your growing season.
