Geranium
One of the best flowers during spring, summer and autumn is geranium and will add color to the garden until frost. This flower needs direct sunlight for at least four hours a day and bloom so wonderful. It will make the flowers bloom so completely and so lovely. This flower can be grown from seeds and cuttings. Geraniums will grow in partial shade, but flowering is reduced even though foliage is produced. You need to select a site where water drainage is good. Geraniums will grow in almost any type of soil if well aerated and porous. This means that heavy clay soils should be improved by adding organic matter each year. An inch of coarse sphagnum peat moss, partially rotted manure, or compost spaded in when preparing the geranium beds is ideal.
