Geranium

Cranesbill

We’re talking about hardy Geraniums, not the better-known, anything-but-subtle Pelargoniums. True Geraniums are sturdy yet refined, with five-petaled flowers borne on dainty stems close to the palmately-divided leaves.

Their spectrum of colors, from cool to electric, is rivaled only by their ability to create soft mounds and flowing carpets of lush foliage in ordinary garden soil. We plant a succession of varieties to always have some in bloom from spring to fall. Our selections are easily grown and will rebloom after flowering if lightly trimmed. Most die back in winter.

Geranium x oxonianum ‘Katherine Adele’   

Introduced by Heronswood Nursery and named after one of the owners’ mother, this Geranium ‘Walter’s Gift’ offspring is a superior cultivar that dons boldly blotched foliage. Large, purple veined light pink flowers are set off by the fanciful mound of deeply cut, dark green leaves splashed with burgundy. Trim to maintain its tidy form, provide enough sun to keep its rich coloring, and situate near companions like Euphorbia ‘Candy’ and Nepeta ‘Superba’. Zone 4/5.

Blooms May-July.

Size: 16" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5.
