Product description
Geranium Bloomtime is a herbaceous perennial plant with deciduous foliage, meaning that it will lose its foliage in order for a fresh set to grow in Spring. Whilst it is with you, the plants flowers will provide stunning colour through the white splash of colour that fades out into a light purple. Red vein-like patterns form on top of those to add an extra dose of colour and eye-catching character. With the plant flowering from June - October, they should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in partially shaded areas during this time. Water it in small amounts to allow it to fully drain through the soil, ensuring the soil is never dry to touch.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

How to Water
Water Geraniums when the top inch of soil feels dry. They prefer deep, less frequent watering over shallow, frequent watering. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent root rot. Avoid wetting the foliage.
How to Plant
Plant Geraniums in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Space plants 30-45cm apart to allow for airflow. Water thoroughly after planting.
