Why have my geranium leaves gone red? I'm a little surprised it is flowering already. It's an old stalwart that never fails to flower. I keep it frost free in summerhouse & then get it out in spring. This year though it's flowering v early & its leaves have gone from a green to a red? Any ideas why? Thanks.

Oh ok. Thanks for that. Hopefully with warmer weather & warmer night the leaves might turn green? I will put ofcourse put it inside if frost is predicted.

If it is going to stay in that pot it might appreciate a feed now things are growing again too, but use a high potash feed like tomato fertilizer or you might get leaves at the expense of flowers.

A few of my overwintered Pelargoniums are like that too,but strangely,only the red ones,like yours ? I've picked them off,as there are plenty of green leaves. Sounds like a good feed won't go amiss for mine either. thanks for the information Seaburn,and Stera. .:o)

that is a sign of stress. Mine that have been in the very hot greenhouse have done this. Also do this is allowed to get too dry or too cold.
