Geraniums may be grown as houseplants or as annual flowers. During the warmer months of the year (between your local frost dates), they can be kept outdoors in a sunny location. 

• Geraniums are an excellent choice for sunny beds and borders, tucked in with other annuals and perennials.
• Grow zonal geraniums in large groups for a burst of color from spring to fall.
• Containers are ideal for geraniums, especially in colder climates where they need to be brought in over winter.
• Ivy geraniums are a colorful choice for spilling out of hanging baskets and window boxes.
• Geraniums are perfect for cottage gardens.
• Use lemon-scented varieties (Pelargonium crispum) on patios, porches, and poolside to help repel mosquitos.
• Grow indoors as a houseplant to brighten up a room.
• Wherever you choose to use geraniums, make sure they are in an area safely away from pets.
