How to Grow Geraniums Like the Bavarians

- Please note that I filmed this video last year (2020). Due to covid lockdowns, we were not able to get our geraniums in March and had to buy them in May. That's why I put them out in our flower boxes as soon as I planted them. Also, my husband thinks March is too early to buy the flowers even though his grandmother insists it's correct! So, if you wait until April or May to buy your flowers, they will turn out just fine.
We use 6 flower boxes out front, 2 small and 4 large. And, 1 small flower box in our back window.
We ordered our flower boxes here: www.ebay.com/i...
Some similar ones available in the US:

We check the flowers twice a day all season long. Often we have to water them every day in the morning AND evening.
You need:
Flower bins
Flower soil
Fertilizer
Hanging geraniums
Lots and lots of water!
Thank you, I wondered how this look was achieved. It's stunning. You can cut them right back at the end of the summer and store just the roots, they don't take up much space or need much care. Thanks again.
thank you for sharing! Always wondered how the Bavarians created them like this. Every year I go to Austria in summer for a roadtrip and enjoy the beautiful geraniums. This year (2022). I take my chance, thanks to you.
Your video is the first I've seen long beautiful Geraniums grow in dirt. Inbelievable and beautiful they are. Thank you for the great tips. I have three Geraniums and never water mine and they bud so nice and full. I watch so many videos on Geraniums and some say don't water them too often because they don't like to sit in water and your the first that i've seen water your Geraniums like this. Thanks for sharing and I'll be using your tips!
Beautiful! My aunt grew these in Munchen.
I love Bavarian Grandmas and Bavarian Donuts. Thank you for this tutorial. I have two cats to help water! Great suggestion!
My favourite plant. Thank you very much for sharing with us.
Gorgeous. Thank you for taking us on your journey. I'm just starting out with geraniums so i picked up some good ideas.
Yay…. I’m so so so happy that you showed this. Geraniums are my favorite flower and like you I fell in love with them in Bavaria. Now that I am States side I want to recreate that same feel. Thank you my dear.
You're welcome! I'm so glad it's helpful!
Amazing! I will try to plant geraniums à la Bavarian style in Canada next season. Thank u Dana, nice to see u doing well in Europe.
So beautiful! Can't find it in Canada though :(
They have Ivy geranium that hangs a couple of inches only. The cascading/Swiss geranium is what you have. Lucky you :)
Wowwww!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!! 🥰 😍 💚💮💚💮💚💮
Love it! I can look those Baravian photos for hours.Yours turned out beautiful.😍 Where can I get water level indicator?
We bought ours from Ebay in Germany. I haven't been able to find where else to get one. Please post if you find some for sale!
I'd like to visit that place.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. My mom is from Germany and my dad is from Austria, I'm living in America and we just bought a house and I really want to put window boxes with geraniums in. I am trying to figure out the name of the Geraniums that are hanging.
Hi is that a 80cm trough and only four plants? Can you also share and reccommend balcony brackets for these containers.
wow!!! do you have to deadhead them? i wonder how if it's hanging outside the window. thanks beautiful black cat btw.. sad about cutting them back for the winter. i live in zone 10b and too warm that it makes the flower wilt in few days. in colder climates, the flowers last a bit longer.
I only deadhead at the very base of the flowers. So, anything I can reach when I'm watering them. That 3-part fertilizer was great for keeping the flowers from turning brown so aside from watering them, they were really low maintenance.
Sorry to hear it's too warm where you live and that the flowers wilt but I bet you have some native flowers that are stunning :) And, thank you, Bernadette is such a sweet kitty.
Thank you so much for this video. So helpful, I'm in northern Italy. So, do you do any pruning besides picking dead or unhealthy looking leaves etc?
I don't see Geraniums in the ground that much only in pots. Is there a reason why some don't plant them in the ground?
Wow!
I'm curious how you attach them to the balcony, do you have a pic of the brackets?
what kind of fertilizer is?
Loved your video! Thanks! Where do I buy the flower pot with the false floor? Browsed at Amazon but didn’t find it.
We bought ours from Ebay in Germany. I just checked Ebay in the US and I couldn't find anything! So crazy. There has to be a company making something similar, the design is too good, it makes for such an easy way to care for flowers. Can you comment where to buy them if you find some?
@@DanaDoes Sure! Will do! Maybe there’s a brand name to it.. that may help narrowing the search
@@lefleur5353 I don't see a brand name on it but here is the Ebay listing www.ebay.com/itm/383969646778
@@DanaDoes I’ve been researching and found out that the false floor pot system is actually called self watering pot. And they do sell it on Amazon. There are different brands offering pots with different sizes, shapes and colors. I haven’t tried it yet but will do in the near future, hopefully. I hope this helps! :)
@@lefleur5353 Wow awesome! Thank you for looking into it! I'll try to add some links to my descriptions to help others.
What good does it do any of us if you can’t tell us the fertilizer that they like ?? Oh so frustrating
The video isn't about fertilizer and not all Bavarians use the same fertilizer
The leaning of plants making it come out of the mud , how to prevent it
tie them to the pot with some soft twine
Do you have the name of the fertilizer?
I don't! It's a mix that that nursery makes themselves. They did say it was a 3 part fertilizer (Quick acting, long-term, and something in the middle). If you show a screenshot of the fertilizer to someone at your local nursery, they may have an idea of what it is.
Hi 🙏 do you know the name of this geranium 👌
Sorry, I don't know the exact name. We just ask our nursery for the hanging kind.
They are Ivy Geraniums, they come in many colors
