Climbing Mixed geranium seeds grow into vigorous plants with trailing to climbing stems that can be trained on supports or allowed to cascade naturally. This geranium type is well suited to mild and warm climates and is commonly grown in containers, hanging baskets, trellises, and garden borders. Plants adapt well to different garden settings when provided with well drained soil, regular moisture, and adequate sunlight. Seeds are typically started indoors and transplanted outdoors once temperatures are stable.
