Geranium plug plants are young, starter plants that come pre-grown in small plugs. These plugs are small, well-rooted plants that are ready to be transplanted into your garden or containers. Geranium plug plants come in a variety of types, from traditional bedding geraniums (also known as Pelargoniums) to trailing varieties that are perfect for hanging baskets or window boxes. They are also non-toxic to dogs but our open flower species are excellent pollinators for bees!

Unlike seeds, which can take time to germinate and establish roots, plug plants give you a head start by bypassing the early growth stages. They're a great way to ensure your garden gets a full season of vibrant blooms with minimal effort.
Why Choose Geranium Plug Plants?
Fast and Easy Growth: Geranium plug plants are easy to establish and grow quickly. Once transplanted, they’ll continue growing rapidly, producing a wealth of colorful flowers throughout the season.
Vibrant Blooms: Geraniums are known for their bright, eye-catching flowers, which come in a variety of colors, including red, pink, purple, white, and orange. They can transform any garden space, adding layers of color and beauty.
Low Maintenance: Geraniums are relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional watering and regular deadheading (removing spent flowers) to keep them looking fresh.
Versatile Gardening Options: Whether you have a flower bed, a balcony, or a hanging basket, geranium plug plants are incredibly versatile. They thrive in both ground beds and containers, making them suitable for all types of gardens, big or small.
Long Blooming Period: Geraniums bloom for an extended period, often from early summer through autumn, meaning you’ll get months of color and interest in your garden.
How to Plant Geranium Plug Plants
Planting geranium plug plants is simple. Follow these steps to ensure your geraniums grow to their full potential:
Choose the Right Location: Geraniums love sunlight, so pick a spot in your garden that receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This can be a sunny flower bed, a patio container, or a hanging basket.
Prepare the Soil: Geraniums prefer well-draining soil. Before planting, work some compost or organic matter into the soil to improve drainage and nutrient levels. If planting in containers, choose a high-quality potting mix.
Transplant the Plug Plants: Gently remove the plug plants from their trays and make small holes in the soil where each plug will go. Space the plugs about 12-18 inches apart for optimal growth. Place each plug in the hole and gently firm the soil around the base.
Watering: After planting, water your geraniums well to help them settle into their new home. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Once established, geraniums are fairly drought-tolerant.
Feed Regularly: To keep your geraniums healthy and blooming, feed them with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. This will provide them with the nutrients they need to produce an abundance of flowers.
