PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
The best time to plant Geranium is in spring, when soil conditions encourage strong root establishment ahead of the summer flowering period. ‘Kelly Anne’ can also be planted in early autumn, allowing the plant to settle before new growth begins the following season.
Site Selection
Choose a planting location that provides full sun or partial shade, as Geranium ‘Kelly Anne’ performs best with ample light for consistent blooming. Ensure the soil is moist yet well-drained, as Geranium does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Improve soil structure by incorporating organic matter to promote healthy root development.
Planting Instructions
- Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and of equal depth.
- Enrich the planting area with compost to enhance nutrient levels and improve drainage.
- Position Geranium ‘Kelly Anne’ so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil.
- Backfill the hole gently, pressing the soil lightly to remove air pockets.
- Water thoroughly after planting to help Geranium ‘Kelly Anne’ establish quickly.
Watering Requirements
During the growing season, water Geranium ‘Kelly Anne’ regularly, allowing the upper soil to dry slightly between watering sessions. Avoid overwatering, as excess moisture can cause root problems. During periods of slowed growth, reduce watering and only apply moisture if the soil becomes very dry.
Feeding
Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support vigorous new growth and strong flowering. A light feed in mid-summer will help maintain energy for its long blooming season.
Pruning
Deadhead spent flowers frequently to encourage continuous new blooms. After flowering slows, trim back Geranium ‘Kelly Anne’ to keep its shape tidy and promote fresh foliage. In autumn, carry out a light prune to prepare the plant for its natural rest period.
Mulching
Apply mulch in spring to help regulate soil moisture, reduce weed growth and stabilise soil temperature. A winter mulch will help protect the root, supporting resilience through colder periods.
Supporting the Plant
Geranium ‘Kelly Anne’ grows with a naturally neat, bushy habit and typically requires no staking. However, if planted in an exposed area, light support can prevent stems from flopping in strong winds.
Final Tips
Geranium ‘Kelly Anne’ is a low-maintenance perennial that rewards gardeners with months of bright colour and reliable performance. Plant in well-drained soil, provide regular care and enjoy continuous flowering from early summer until the first frosts.
