Each summer, I grow flowers on my deck. Colorful flowers are uplifting and beautiful! I chose vibrant colors this year.
Upon planting in mid-May, I hard-pruned the ivy geraniums, cutting off the main growth tip.
At first the plants sulked, standing still. Then it occurred to me they need fertilizer. I watered with half-strength Miracle Grow once per week.
The geraniums branched out, quadrupling the number of flowers. TA DA!
