Here in California obviously I didn't really have to do anything to get mine to bloom. It just did its second year. My friend Marc at the NYBG grows them under glass though and he would probably recommend just fertilizing the hell out of it.

Yes, that Geranium of course is G. maderense 'alba', one of a few that I started from seed a couple of years ago. Any hints on how to get it to bloom? That one I planted in a 30 inch pot, to see if size matters. I let it go dry for most of the winter, maybe that will help.
