About Geranium Tornado Series Mix Garden Seeds
These flowers make charming bouquets all summer long. To harvest, cut a flower stalk as far down as possible, and immediately place it in cool, clean water. They may be harvested in the morning at full bloom or just before. Change the water daily for prolonged color.
Pelargoniums are typically drought and rabbit resistant. It is possible to overwinter them indoors even in colder growing zones. Cut them back before doing so.
Pelargonium x peltatum is a member of the family Geraniaceae and is mistakenly given the common name "geranium" in North America, though not actually being a geranium at all. There is some division among American horticulturalists and hobbyists whether or not to refer to the plant by what it looks like ("geranium") or by its true taxonomic name ("pelargonium"). Pelargonium was first cultivated in the 16th century near South Africa and has thrived as a purely ornamental variety with countless societies dedicated to its cultivation.
Tips From Our Gardeners
”To me, Tornado series geraniums have much more of a wildflower-like look to them. I think they look wonderful in cottagey landscapes and arrangements. Try pairing them with cosmos, hollyhock, and heuchera for a unique pairing."
