 Annual geraniums, also known as Pelargonium x hortorum, are a popular flowering plant that are often grown in gardens and containers. They are called "annuals" because they typically only live for one growing season, unlike perennial geraniums which come back year after year.

Annual geraniums are native to South Africa and are known for their vibrant and colorful blooms that come in shades of pink, red, orange, and white. They are relatively low maintenance plants, making them a great choice for both experienced gardeners and those new to gardening.

The best way to care for annual geraniums is to plant them in well-draining soil in a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. They prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Water them regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to help them grow strong and produce more blooms.

Annual geraniums are often used as bedding plants, in hanging baskets, or in pots on patios, decks and balconies. They can add a splash of color to any garden and are a great way to add some life and color to a space. They are also very popular as indoor plants.

In summary, annual geraniums are a popular, low maintenance, and colorful flowering plant that are great for gardens and indoor spaces. With proper care, they will bloom for the entire season.
