How to Grow Pelargonium x scarboroviae

Growing the Strawberry Scented Geranium is a rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps to ensure your plant thrives:

1. Choosing the Right Location

Find a sunny spot in your garden as Pelargonium x scarboroviae loves sunlight. It's also essential to provide some protection from strong winds to prevent damage to the plant.

2. Soil Preparation

Prepare well-draining soil by adding organic matter such as compost or well-decomposed manure. This will help retain moisture and provide essential nutrients for healthy growth.

3. Planting

Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball of the plant. Place the geranium in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Gently fill the hole with soil and pat it down to secure the plant.

4. Watering

Water the geranium immediately after planting, ensuring that the soil is evenly moist. Afterward, water only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.

5. Pruning

Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and vigor of your Pelargonium x scarboroviae. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and stems. Prune back long shoots to encourage bushier growth.
