Geranium

Geranium (Mixed Varieties)

3 Litre Pot

Plant Highlights: Mixed selection of hardy geraniums • Long flowering season • Excellent ground-covering habit • Attractive to bees and other pollinators

Overview

This mixed selection of hardy Geranium offers a range of reliable, long-flowering perennials that bring colour and texture to borders, cottage gardens and containers. Flower colour and foliage characteristics vary depending on the variety supplied, with blooms in shades such as white, pink, blue, purple or magenta.

Hardy geraniums are valued for their easy-going nature, generous flowering and attractive mounding or spreading habit. They blend beautifully with roses, ornamental grasses and other herbaceous perennials, providing months of colour while helping to soften the front of borders and fill gaps between larger plants.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Plant in full sun or partial shade. Most hardy geraniums perform best with a few hours of direct sun each day, although many also thrive in lightly shaded borders.

Watering

Water regularly during establishment. Once established, hardy geraniums generally require watering only during prolonged dry spells, especially when grown in containers.

Soil

Grow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. They are adaptable to a wide range of garden soils provided drainage is good.

Maintenance

Remove faded flowers where practical to encourage further blooming. If plants become untidy after the first flush of flowers, trim back the foliage lightly to encourage fresh growth and, in many varieties, a second display.

Perfect For

• Mixed borders
• Cottage gardens
• Woodland edges
• Patio containers
• Ground cover planting

Wildlife

The open flowers provide nectar and pollen for bees and other pollinating insects throughout the flowering season.
