They are excellent in containers of all types from small pots to large tubs to window boxes and combine well with other plants such as petunias and ivies. Plant in ordinary well-drained soil. These plants have succulent leaves and stems and they are commonly called garden geraniums or zonal geraniums. Geraniums are one of your best choices for use in hanging baskets.
