Climbing mixed geranium seeds grow into vigorous, trailing or climbing plants with flexible stems that can be trained on supports or allowed to spill naturally. These geraniums are well suited to mild and warm climates and are commonly grown in hanging baskets, containers, and garden borders. Plants adapt well to a variety of garden settings when provided with well drained soil, regular watering, and adequate sunlight. Seeds are typically started indoors and transplanted once conditions are favorable.
