Geraniums are native to southern Africa and can tolerate extremes in temperatures and moisture.
They will do best in an area that receives at least six hours of direct sun each day. The soil should be well drained with plenty of organic material. They can be planted in beds, pots, baskets, or anywhere there is adequate room to grow. You can now choose from several forms of geraniums. The traditional variety is called Zonal or cutting geraniums.
