geraniums from seed

hello
i started geraniums from seed a month ago and had good growth since then. I am wondering if i should plant them in the ground or keep them in containers to go inside over the winter. I live in zone 6 in SW PA. Also, should i get blooms this year from them?

| Hi Ryan.....Are you talking about perennial geranium (like Johnson's Blue), or pelargonium, which goes by the common name geranium? If it's pelargonium--which I've also grown from seed two years running now--yes, you should get blooms this year. They might be slow to perform for you---it took mine close to six months from seed to bloom (January to June), but they're worth it.....I overwintered the ones from last summer on my enclosed, cool porch---they took a break from October to February, but have been blooming their heads ever since! Perennial geranium, I'm not sure about. I winter-sowed some this year and am just now getting tiny seedlings. I have the feeling they'll spend most of the summer just settling in, once I put them in the ground. But others who have more experience might know otherwise........Good luck!
