Plant Profile: Hardy Geranium • Hardy Geranium, also known as Cranesbill, is a perennial plant -- not to be confused with the Zonal Geranium, which is an annual plant with a tall flower spike that is commonly seen in summer windowbox displays. • The Hardy Geranium is easy to grow. It is useful in the garden as a ground cover and at the front of flower borders. It has an exceptionally long blooming period and you can sheer off the first flowers to encourage re-blooming throughout the summer into fall. • The flowers are attractive to both butterflies and bees. Even when not in bloom, the foliage itself is fragrant and it is fairly evergreen in our planting zone. As a bonus, it is deer-resistant. • It prefers full sun to light shade and tolerates most soil types. The only care it ever really needs is a bit of watering during prolonged drought periods. • Several varieties do well in our region. Two varieties that have pale pink flowers and that stay fairly low-growing are ‘Biokovo’ and ‘Pink Summer.’ ‘Rozanne®’ is the world’s best-selling hardy geranium. It produces large saucer-shaped violet-blue flowers with white centers. Another popular variety is ‘Max Frei’, which has bright-pink flowers. • Hardy Geranium - You Can Grow That! • The video was produced by Washington Gardener Magazine. • Visuals by Taylor Calavetinos • Audio by Kathy Jentz • ➤ If you enjoy this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to our Youtube channel (thank you!) • ➤Remember to TURN ON notifications to know when our new videos are out • ➤ FIND Washington Gardener Magazine ONLINE • ~ WashingtonGardener.blogspot.com • ~ / wdcgardener • ~ / wdcgardener • ~ Facebook.com/WashingtonGardenerMagazine • ~ Podcast: GardenDC on Spotify, Apple, etc.
