For best results, good winter drainage is essential. Long recognized as some of the most durable garden perennials, the hardy geraniums are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Not as flashy as many perennials, geraniums are a great uniting element in gardens. The attractive foliage, combined with the easily blendable flowers, makes geraniums a permanent staple in the perennial garden. We offer some of the best new and heat tolerant selections from this wonderful group.
Most geraniums prefer part sun to light shade and are quite tolerant of most garden soils.
The color of the flowers really glows when set next to golden foliaged plants. The foliage is deeply serrated like lace doilies, round in outline. The mound of foliage stays attractive for the rest of the summer. Discovered in the damp woods in the wilds of Croatia, this marvelous geranium selection first caught my eye in the garden of friend Dan Hinkley. Each 2' wide clump is adorned with stunning foliage.
