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 clarkei ‘Kashmir Purple’   

Elegantly chiseled in deep, narrow cuts and sharp pointed segments, each green leaf resembles a snowflake’s silhouette. The upward facing, large purple blooms are nearly 2 in. across, premiering butterfly-like petals with shimmering lilac-pink veins. Hailing from Kashmir, this attractive mounding Geranium establishes itself quickly by underground rhizomes, requires little care and can be massed amid Alchemilla glaucescens.

Blooms June–August.

Size: 18" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4.
