Planting and Growing Information
Geranium 'Brookside' thrives in USDA zones 4-9, making it suitable for projects across most of the United States. Plant in spring in well-drained soil, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature spread. While adaptable to various soil types including clay, sandy, or chalky conditions, it performs best in fertile, moist soil. Position in full sun to partial shade locations. For optimal flowering, cut back spent blooms to encourage a second flush. Divide every 3-4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor and propagate additional plants.
