Plant Features

Aristo® Black Geranium Plant features early blooming, impossibly deep, red flowers with black centers. Regal Geraniums are among the most colorful and attractive of the geranium world, this one definitely being no exception! Aristo geraniums are an excellent choice both as potted indoor and outdoor plants or as regal accents for formal-looking flower beds.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date
  • - Space plants 10-12 inches apart, as Aristo geraniums are more compact

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 5.8-6.3 (slightly more acidic than general geraniums)
  • - Well-draining soil rich in organic matter

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
  • - Aristo geraniums are more drought-tolerant than some varieties

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting
  • - Supplement with liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during peak growing season

Pruning and Training:

  • - Less pruning required due to compact growth habit
  • - Remove spent blooms is important for geraniums to look good and for continuous flowering

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Aristo geraniums have good disease resistance
  • - Still monitor for common pests like aphids and whiteflies

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Produces large, showy flowers throughout the growing season
  • - Blooms earlier and longer than many other geranium varieties

Light Requirements:

  • - Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade
  • - Needs at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Heat-tolerant, performing well in temperatures up to 95°F (35°C)
  • - Not frost-hardy; protect or bring indoors when temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C)

Companion Plants for Geraniums:

Geraniums are versatile plants that pair well with a wide variety of companions. Their adaptability allows them to thrive alongside annuals, perennials, and even ornamental grasses with similar growing conditions. Suitable companion plants range from trailing varieties like sweet potato vine and ivy to upright flowers such as salvias. The options span a broad spectrum of colors, textures, and growth habits, allowing gardeners to create diverse and visually appealing container gardens or bedding arrangements with geraniums as a key component.

Aristo Black Geranium Plant

In my 50 some years I have never, ever bought a live plant in the mail. I figure if I can find it online, I can find it local. My Husband and I looked and looked for this plant local and had no luck...so out of desperation I ordered it from GrowJoy. My oh my why did I wait so long? The plant arrived ALIVE and looking good. We are so pleased with our purchase!

Aristo Black Geraniums

Super fast! Arrived on the 2nd day still wet and carefully packaged. Healthy looking plants already budding. Planted them and after a week and a half the first blooms. Will surely buy again!
