Highlights
The standout feature here is the sheer size of the blooms. Four to five inch flower clusters are genuinely enormous for geraniums, creating the kind of visual impact that transforms a simple container into a statement piece. These plants are compact enough to tuck into 6-inch pots yet generous enough with their flowers to feel abundant. The Pinto Premium Series represents a deliberate breeding effort to amplify what gardeners already love about geraniums, delivering extra-large floral displays in a plant that fits nearly anywhere.
Common Uses
Pinto Premium Series Geraniums are grown primarily for their ornamental value. The enormous flower clusters make them outstanding subjects for container gardening, particularly in 6-inch pots where their compact growth habit and abundant blooms create striking displays on patios, decks, and windowsills. They're equally at home in garden beds and have found favor with professional florists who value their large, showy clusters for fresh-cut arrangements and design work.

Care Instructions
Start Indoors
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Sow seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch on moist seed-starting mix and maintain temperatures around 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Geranium seeds germinate slowly, typically within 7 to 21 days; be patient and keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during this period.
Transplant Outdoors
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date has passed and nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting. Space plants 12 inches apart in full sun.
Pruning
Pinch back young plants when they reach 4 to 6 inches tall to encourage bushier growth and more abundant flowering. Remove spent flower clusters regularly to extend the blooming season throughout summer and fall. Light pruning to maintain shape is all that's needed; these plants naturally develop a tidy bush habit without aggressive cutting.
