Planted some Geraniums in march and they're really healthy and strong, but they seem to be taking ages to flower. How long do they normally take? Do they have to be in direct sunlight for the actual flower parts to grow? They're half covered at the moment in a greenhouse.
Advice about Geraniums please!?
Remove shading or move them out of the greenhouse. They may also be too young to set bloom.
Geraniums require high light conditions but not a lot of direct heat from the sun to flower. They flower on new mature growth. Don't use a lot of fertilizer.
See source for more info
Reply:Which type of geraniums? The hardy type or annual?
Having said that they will still be ' filling out ' as yet . Flowers are usually end of may beg June ( I'm north west England)
I have grown Geraniums in all aspects and they all flower especially the hardy type. The other type need More sun but you can deffo get a way with part shade...did that for years!! I found the white did better in shade than the other colours...after that pink and then red.
Reply:It is early for geraniums to flower. They need full sun and warmth. To keep them flowering make sure you remove any old flower head after they are done. Also, don't fertilize them. they will grow leaves at the expense of flowers.

Reply:Yes--full sun is needed for geraniums.
Also when the flowers fade,make sure to dead-head for further flower growth.
