Why is my hardy geranium corm just lying on the soil looking very poorly instead of showing new growth?

Considering it is planted correctly then try to "deadhead" the plant. Take the old growth off the top and it should "double-out". I winter mine in the house and "deadhead" them every spring, right after planting them.

Too much water.





Not enough water.





Needs a bigger pot.





Change the soil.





It has a disease.





Not enough plant food.





Too much plant food.
Reply:Geraniums don't have corms---they grow from cuttings and have roots. It should not lie on top of the soil it should be planted.
