Also I have seen yellow and blue geraniums on sale by a dutch company but only available for delivery in UK. Anyone know if anyone delivers to Spain? I'm in Los Angeles, geraniums here, ivy, zonal, and martha washington fancies, all do well. Some of the bushier ones may get leggy and need pruning. All are very hardy, just do whatever you want to them, they flower pretty much continuously here, I just toss a little MiracleGro in the watering can now and then for good luck. J. |

I've never seen a yellow or blue geranium, that would be novel! I've seen some yellow-throated petunias at a house nearby, have not seem them in the nursery, I guess anything that blooms purple is supposed to hybridize to yellow fairly easily, and maybe vice-versa, but these were new to me and very pretty.

I feed mine with tomato food, the sort that is dissolved in a watering can. I prune mine in a couple of ways. After they flower I will sometimes cut back to above a leaf axil if they are getting too long and sometimes I just pinch the tip out of a stem. |

A blooming fertilizer applied according to directions will help keep them blooming. You may have to buy seeds to get unusual colors. |

Actually did an image google on "yellow geranium" and saw a mess of them, "cranesbill geranium" also shows a lot of different flowers, but some look like the real thing, thanks. Of course they're purple, not blue, as such, but it's purple-to-yellow that's supposed to be an easy variation, so few flowers are actually blue. J. |
