I went looking for white g. seeds yesterday at Lowes and Fred Meyer but only found g. seed at FM and they were multicolored and I hate pink so didn't get any. will be on the hunt for them now. Our local nurseries are closed for winter should be…

Barbara, I had to click on the pic below to get the "full sized" version, LOL, to see the tag on when I started them, LOL. I started them on December 30th.
Geranium season here in the Phoenix metro is November through early…

@Grant, when did you start your Geranium seeds? Do you remember the month?

Aw, thanks for the nice words, Glenda, I appreciate them. Honestly, I feel like such a loudmouth some times about posting so often, LOL, but I just can't get enough garden talk. :) I always figure knowledge is like…

Hiya Barbara and all, fun! Commercial "geranium" seed is super easy to grow, it just needs a fairly long lead time, but sometimes it's fun to have something you can start indoors nice and early. If you give them a try,…

@ Grant, I've never tried Geraniums from seed, but your picture makes me want to try. Your plants look very healthy! I believe I'm going to order some! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for looking/commenting, Vicky. Flower colors definitely vary a bit depending on temperatures and UV light especially, so that probably accounts for why some of your white ones have turned pink. Yes, you can definitely grow pure…

I hadn't thought about growing my own either since they are kinda spendy replacing them every yr. even tho I only get a six pack. I know I should be propogating starts but I really don't have a place to keep them indoors right now and I…

Grant I have a ? about geraniums, I'm not big on growing them but I read somewhere that white ones help keep bugs out of the veggies. So every yr. I try to find nice white ones and every yr they get a pinkish color to them and you know how I…

Haven't herd of that story but I am not into reading novels, I am more into science, politics, history, gardening and things like that. Much of what I like to read are in magizienes because it is the most current and up to date. I wish you the…

Zigmund, my poppy supplier sent me a very detailed instruction leaflet that she had put together when she posted my seeds (I really did go overboard buying TOO many varieties, but they were very cheap buying online. I was as surprised as anyone when…

Good luck on the Blue Poppies, I have tried them at least 5 times, This past year is the first time I got any of them to sprout. They are very slow growing and never got big enough to transplant before they faded away. If you check out my photos of…
