GERANIUM PLANT: Abandoned Zonal Geranium THRIVES in Alley with No Care! (#shorts) Shirley Bovshow

The other day, I came across a stunning geranium plant, (an abandoned zonal geranium) thriving in an alleyway! The geranium was in the midst of weeds, up against a chainlink fence, and the soil was very dry. But it was looking GOOOD!

Regardless of the lack of human care, the vivid red geranium plant was robust and full of life with many flower buds still to open! I used to NOT like geraniums a long time ago but have since come to respect these low water, low maintenance, and low care flowering plants!

Geraniums are workhorse plants worthy of even better care as a potted or container plant, or planted in the ground in the garden! I can only imagine how much more beautiful this geranium could be with a little more water, some fertilizer, and love!

You can find many different types of geraniums including zonal geraniums, ivy geraniums, Regal geraniums, Martha Washington geraniums, Scented geraniums, and many more.

They are available in a rainbow of colors and are extremely easy to propagate through geranium cuttings. No wonder they are a perennial favorite!

Give them full sun and they will reward you with lots of flowers from spring to fall!
