Geranium Phaeum Samobor care
We would plant the Geranium Phaeum Samobor in a sunny, partially shaded location with moist, well drained soil. That being said, the Geraniums are known to be very tolerant of mostly all soil conditions apart from waterlogged making it slightly easier choosing where to plant in the garden. Requires pruning of flower stems and any dead or old looking leaves, which once removed encourage a healthy, bushy growth.
