As the Garden Grows

I think that most gardeners end up buying annual geraniums for their flower pots, baskets and window box planters each year, or it’s similar counter part the Pelargonium.

However, have you ever thought about planting some of the lovely perennial geraniums? They make great garden plants, many of which bloom several times each season. There is a wide variety of perennial geraniums to choose from.

Johnson’s Blue is one of the most popular of the perennial geraniums and I must admit that I grow this geranium myself. I love it’s delicate iridescent blue flowers. It’s just gorgeous when photographed in the right light setting too.

Other perennial geraniums that you might want to try include “Claridge Druce”, “Wargrave Pink”, “Ballerina”, “Biokovo” and Splish Splash. These varieties are often sold as small plants in nurseries, however you might be able to purchase seeds for these geraniums from Thompson and Morgan.
