Clouds of single flowers are produced from spring through fall on this plant, which should be planted in areas that receive morning sun and afternoon shade. They will bloom more if deadheaded. Ivy Geranium look great in containers. Deer love them too! It needs well draining, rich soil to produce profuse blooms of various colors.

Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
