00:00 This is a geranium, a classic garden plant that has been a fan favorite for well over
00:04 a century.
00:05 Let's take a closer look with Better Homes and Gardens.
00:13 Geraniums come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes of blooms.
00:17 They can grow up to 3 feet tall, depending on variety.
00:21 Most geraniums do best in full sun, with consistent watering.
00:25 Geraniums are generally low-maintenance.
00:27 Just make sure to keep up with deadheading to encourage continuous blooming.
00:31 Don't forget to fertilize your geraniums to promote flower growth.
00:35 Stem cuttings are the best way to propagate geraniums.
00:38 Cut the stem at an angle above a node.
00:41 Place the cutting into a vase of water until roots form, which takes about 2-4 weeks.
00:46 Then plant in your garden.
00:48 Here are some varieties to consider.
00:51 Allure Pink Pickety produces huge hydrangeal-like clusters of pale pink blooms, edged in darker
00:56 pink.
00:57 Elegance Burgundy is a cool-season variety with rich burgundy flowers that look like
01:01 they're made from crepe paper.
01:03 Elegance Imperial is a spring bloomer offering rich burgundy-purple flowers boldly edged
01:07 in white.
01:09 Now that you've learned more about geraniums, go forth and plant!
