| What's New in Geranium Production? | Geranium production has changed again during the last 10 years. Most of us remember the shift from vegetatively propagated geraniums during the 1970’s to seed propagated geraniums during the 1980’s. During the last 10 years there has been a slow shift back to many of the vegetatively propagated geraniums. The reasons for this are not clear, but I believe are associated with the attractiveness of the large flower heads, increased stress resistance, new dark-leafed forms that highlight the flowers, or an increase in the desire of the consumer to simply have a larger plant. In most cases, growers sell these geraniums as larger plants in larger containers to compensate for the increased cost of the cutting compared to the seed. |
