PLacement of Geraniums
I plant in buckets and the vats are the size of 2 and half feet across. How many plants can I put into each container? Do geraniums like "company?"

Keep Geraniums away from your tomatoes and peppers. As far as what Geraniums like for "company" I am not entirely sure. The books I have mention roses? But they say the benefit is to the roses.......

I mean other geraniums. Do they do best with multiple plants in the same pot?

We put multiple geraniums in pots and troughs, usually with a spiky Dracaena and something that tails. Geraniums thrive in them.

Elliot, I do geraniums in multiples in pots if they are big enough. Add some Ivy or other hanging greenery, and/or a spikey dracaena or something if you'd like and it looks great!
I love the fact they are so easy and carefree and can take the heat without too much fuss.
