When should i plant pelargonium or geranium seed in england?
As best I can figure, you seem to live in about zone 8, for climate. The following is from the link listed first, below: "Only sow the seed in April/May of the following season. Sow in well-drained loam, approx. 1 cm below the soil surface. Keep moist and well ventilated. Allow plenty of light. The seeds will germinate in two to four weeks. Prick out carefully without damaging the roots and plant into one pint bags. Move to a sunny location. In most cases only plant these young seedlings in April of the following year."


Happy Gardening!
