First Things First...
Eye Catching Bermuda Regal Geraniums
(Geranium Regal ‘Pelargonium’)
When your plant arrives from Roberta’s, remove from the
shipping box immediately.
Remove plastic bag and sleeve from around potted
plant(s). Discard any packing material clinging to the leaves
or soil. Pull away any yellow or brown leaves that may have
occurred during transit. If you can’t plant it into garden
or larger pot within a few days, make sure it stays well
watered.
When ready to plant, do the job as early in the day as
possible to avoid extreme soil temperatures that prevent
proper water uptake from the roots. Water them in well
and whisper a few words of wisdom.
