Pelargonium spp. - The geranium is a popular and attractive flower. Their bright red, white, or pink flowers can be used to fill a bed or combined with other plants for colorful accents.

Geraniums grow best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. Remove old flowers to keep new ones coming. Geraniums prefer well-drained soils. Work a three- to four-inch layer of organic matter such as compost or peat moss into the soil when planting.
