Plant Features

The Patriot series is our most vigorous geraniums. Patriot™ Bright Violet Geranium Plants offer large blooms, early flowering, heat tolerance, and have a self-branching habit. They perform well in containers and beds alike. Shade should be provided in southern gardens during hottest portion of the day!

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.

Beautiful Color!

I bought these as fillers for a couple of pots on my porch that were ravaged by storms. Sturdy little plants arrived in good condition and are developing into a nice display.

Patriots

I am a first time customer. Having struggled with many online nurseries in the past was skeptical of trying a new one out. I felt the plants were a bit overpriced, but had trouble finding a supplier for patriots. I was very pleasantly surprised when they finally came. They were in beautiful condition upon arrival and were packaged with such care. I will use this support in the future, hands down!

Geranium

This is the 2nd year that I have purchased flowers and plants from GrowJoy. They have all arrived alive and ready to plant. I have referred several family members to GrowJoy and they are completely satisfied also. I will be using GrowJoy for many years to come.
