are these seeds of ivy geranium?

17 years ago

I'm enclosing a picture of some of the clippings I just took off my i ger. as I brought it indoors for the late fall and winter. I usually have success with it by keeping it in a bright, sunny exposure. On this image there are what looks like pods mid way up the stems. Are those containing seeds? I split one opened and there is nothing that seems to resemble a seed as I've known them. If they are pods that contain seeds, do they need to mature? If so, does anyone know how? Thanks

The brown ones in the center of the flower umbel appear to have aborted, but the ones that are still green look like they are forming seeds. Wait until they turn brown. You should find some seeds in there.

Ivy Geraniums should do well in the area where you live.I'd recommend you keep them more on the dry side there.

I have always just purchased the plants at the nursery, although I have seen ivy geranium seeds for sale, too. Never grown them from seed myself so can't comment on the series or the quality, although when I have sown regular geranium seeds in years past, was easy and had a good gemination rate. Try overwintering them next season (dormant state) if you do end up growing them. :0)
