Hi I planted some red geraniums don,t know the name of them in my basement under flourescent lights at the beginning of febuary.My question is when will the buds start to show ?how long does it take for them to start flowering? They are about8 to 10 inches high now with lots of leaves but no signes of buds yet.Also can I harden them of buy opening my windows or do they have to go outside in the sun?

Thanks

You can harden them off by opening window, but do not expose to temperatures below 50F (10 C). They need a fair amount of sun to flower. Usually they flower 13-18 weeks from sowing. Yours should be just around the corner.
