GERANIUM PHAEUM SAMOBOR Patterned Mottled Leaves
This hardy perennial has showy dark burgundy maroon flowers, and the most attractive mottled colored and patterned foliage!
Type: Perennial
Height: 18-24"
Location: Sun
Hardiness zones: 5-9
Seeds per pack: 3
Germination: As with many perennials, these seeds require a period of moist cold to help them break dormancy. This is done by giving them a cold 'winter' period (artificial or natural), and then a warming to simulate 'spring', and time to grow! Here's how this can be done:
Obtain a planting container that has holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Place the seeds on the surface of your growing medium, and water the seeds in. Place your container in a cold area (but not freezing, perhaps a refrigerator) for 5-6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout a few weeks, or occasionally several months, after the warming period.
