Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Red Geum seeds benefit from a period of cold stratification to enhance germination.
Place the seeds in a moist paper towel, seal them in a plastic bag, and store them in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks before planting.
Sowing:
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost.
Fill seed trays or pots with a seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the surface of the soil. Cover them with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite.
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 2-4 weeks.
Provide ample light, such as a sunny windowsill or grow lights, to encourage strong seedling growth.
Transplanting:
When seedlings have developed several true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Monitor for pests and diseases, though Geum is generally hardy and pest-resistant.
Cut back the foliage after the first frost to tidy up the garden and promote healthy growth the following season.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as plants, and the soil and sky as canvas.
Happy gardening!
