Product description
Building a beautiful, structural mound of colour, the Geranium Bullseye Light Pink acts as a fantastic upright focal point for your suspended containers. Its textured, earthy-scented leaves provide excellent contrast against the bright, delicate pink flower heads that bloom relentlessly during warm weather. Due to its Mediterranean genetics, it requires a position in full sun to thrive, but it remains entirely non-hardy and will need to be discarded or brought indoors before the freezing winter temperatures arrive.
You need to treat this variety with a bit of calculated neglect regarding its daily watering schedule. Always allow the top couple of inches of dirt to dry entirely before applying any more moisture, ensuring the root system has a chance to breathe between heavy drinks. Overwatering is the fastest way to kill it, so only flood the container when the surface soil feels completely parched, allowing the excess water to drain away freely.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

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.

Top Tip
The secret to endless blooms is staying on top of the deadheading process. When a flower cluster fades, trace the stem all the way back to the main branch and snap it off cleanly. This simple trick prevents your Geranium Bullseye Light Pink from wasting energy on seed production and forces new buds to open instead.
How to Water
This specific type of plant actively despises sitting in heavy, waterlogged dirt. You must wait until the top two inches of compost feel completely dry to the touch. Once it reaches that point, give your Geranium Bullseye Light Pink a heavy, thorough soak until water runs out the bottom of the basket.
How to Plant
To get the best structure in your bedding plants, position the roots dead centre in a high-quality loam compost. You should dig a hole just deep enough so the crown sits level with the soil surface. Doing this ensures your Geranium Bullseye Light Pink has the perfect stable base to build its upright mound.
