Red Geranium seeds

 

I live in Sussex, close to the coast, and the house has a south facing wall,
painted white. A couple of years ago I bought six large bright, deep red
geraniums (or pelargoniums) which I planted into two large white flower pots
and stood these against the wall. On a sunny day the effect was beautiful.
Since then, I haven't been able to find any geraniums as good as those were
and I never made a note of the variety nor did I take any cuttings.

I'd like to grow my own from seed if, that is, I can find seeds that will
give me those deep bright red flowers. Can anyone advise me which might be
the best variety to look for and, if possible, where I might buy the seeds
from? The images on the Internet and those on the seed packets don't always
give a true idea of the colour.

Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,

John

 



There's one called Crampell's Master or Paul Crampell which Vernon's
sell in their catalogue and describe as bright red,  John.

I think they have a web site ...(brief few minutes searching)
yes, their website is
http://www.geraniumsuk.com

We visited the nursery some years back en masse from the gardening Club.
Very friendly and helpful.

Missed the original post.
Try these people, not for seeds though.

But as Marco says, unless you see and then buy a actual plant in
flower, you'll never be certain you get the same shade of red.

I have a nice "multibloom" red which I did NOT from from seed but I
notice that Chiltern Seeds appear to be offering them - see:
