Aciddentally buried geranium shoots

Hi everyone,

I was doing some work on the front garden beds yesterday and planted some 9cm Geranium 'Rise and Shine'. Later on I topped up the beds with some compost and accidentally covered two of the plants' shoots with the compost. I didn't notice straight away, and when I attempted to find them I couldn't. I'm a bit reluctant about scraping back the soil in case I damage the shoots, so wondered if they will continue to grow up through the soil, or should I locate them and bring them back to the surface? They each only had one small shoot of green so far.

Thanks for any help,

    Those 9cm pots of plants are barely big enough to plant out without any extra challengesimage

    I managed to find them both and the shoots are still intact so hopefully no damage has been done.

    This is such a helpful forum! Thanks again nutcutlet.

    Ok thanks for the tip Verdun. I've got some larger pots around somewhere.
