Hardy Geraniums deserve a place of honor in
your perennial gardens. They are versatile, reliable and
provide a fantastic punch of color for a long period of time.
Almost all will grow in sun or part shade and some will even
grow in complete shade. They are quite drought tolerant and
will grow in the presence of walnut trees (which are toxic to
some plants). They are also seldom bothered by deer.
Butterflies and hummingbirds gather nectar from them. The main
difference in the Geraniums that we offer is that they vary in
size and flower color. The Cantabrigiense hybrids such as
'Biokova'and Karmina form very tight mats of foliage that
can be impenetrable to weeds. They also have some red tones to
their foliage in the fall. All of the Geraniums deserve
a place of honor in the garden!
