Geranium Plants

Geranium plants – more info

Whether you grow hardy geranium plants, commonly called cranesbills, or the tender bedding pelargoniums, you can be sure of a long season of colour. Try ‘Rozanne’ for guaranteed flower power – it was voted plant of the century at RHS Chelsea. Geranium ‘sanguineum’ is ideal for ground cover in awkward spots, and Geranium ‘Grandeur Angels Perfume’ will not only fill your containers with dazzling summer colour, it also has lemon-scented leaves.

Which geranium varieties flower for longest?

Geranium ‘Rozanne’ is one of the longest flowering hardy geraniums, beginning in early summer and going on until the first frosts.

Which geraniums are best for a hanging basket?

Choose a trailing variety for a hanging basket, such as Geranium ‘Rosebud Tommy’ or ‘Pink Sybil’.

Can you grow geraniums in shade?

Many geraniums will grow in part shade and G. himalayense ‘Gravetye’ will grow in light shade. Most pelargoniums prefer full sun but will tolerate some shade.
