Purple isn't as blue as I was hoping for...purple often means reddish

I understand that people have successfully grown Pelargoniums indoors...

I have plant lights and the plant is very close to the front door which I keep open...El Segundo is near the ocean and is breezy and cooler than most people's homes...
