Orange Geranium


One of the two I started late from seed has finally bloomed! Gorgeous color, would have shown up better if the sun had been shining today.

Re: Orange Geranium


Apparently they're not very popular here, couldn't find any orange ones at any gardening sites I usually use, so went the seed route as I'm stubborn and was determined to have some. They're surprisingly easy to grow from seed; I'd forgotten about them so they were started quite late...May, I think...but I can do cuttings from these two now.

Re: Orange Geranium


Yup - that's orange - wow - really zappy! Great. Hope your cuttings take well Eileen.

Autumn has come so quickly here, with lower temperatures I wonder if I am too late to take some cuttings from a particularly nice smelling scented geranium?

Re: Orange Geranium


I'd rhink it would be OK now; do you have a sunny window for them and some rooting hormone powder? I bring my big plants in every Winter.

Re: Orange Geranium


That's beautiful, it's just the traditional type of geranium I love!

I bought what I thought were upright vivid red ones this year; turned out to be tumbling pink ones DESPITE what it said on the label. Ah well . . .

Re: Orange Geranium


They're stunning Eileen

I use hormone rooting powder with my cuttings then keep them out of direct sunlight ....
