YOU'LL BE SPOILED FOR CHOICE WITH THESE EASY, VERSATILE, BOLD BEAUTIES

GERANIUM MANIA

HARDY geraniums, or cranesbills, are among the most dependable and versatile herbaceous perennials for any garden.

Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours, their growth habits vary from neat ground-huggers to shrubby mounds several feet tall. This diversity makes them perfect for ground cover, floral borders, and even pots or containers.

What's more, they're incredibly easy to grow. Many varieties thrive in partial shade, some tolerate full shade, and others flourish in full sun. They require minimal maintenance, are generally pest-resistant, and their open, delicate blooms are magnets for pollinators.

Colours range from pure white and soft pinks to deep purples and vibrant blues.
