Scented Geranium Seeds never grow!

DebbieSells San Jose, CA(Zone 9a) Aug 20, 2005

I have lots of seeds from my scented geraniums (maybe Pelagorims) and I plant them like my other seeds and nothing happens-EVER! Does anyone else have this problem?? My other geranium seeds do nothing either. If anyone want some seeds to try & grow, just let me know!

Debbie,

What flavors of geraniums do you have? I would love to be a guinea pig to see if your seeds are good. Here in FL all you have to do is just put some seeds out in the ground and anything sprouts. Whether it can take the heat or not, well, that's a different story. Send me an email and I will send you a SASE. Thanks!

I was doing a little research myself and I came across this page. Apparently, pelargonium seeds need bright light(not direct sun), steady warmth (70 - 75 F), and just moist enough to where it is not wet soil. They are to germinate in about 3 -5 days...
