Summary

Description

Geraniums, not to be confused with the common bedding pelargoniums, are a diverse group of flowering perennials that are easy to grow and care for. With delicate-looking flowers and finely divided leaves, they make a charming addition to any garden. These plants produce a profusion of blooms in a range of colors, including pink, purple, blue, and white, from late spring to early summer. Some varieties may rebloom later in the season. Geraniums are versatile plants that can be used in many garden settings, from borders and containers to rock gardens and cottage gardens. They prefer well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage repeat flowering and keep the plants looking neat and tidy.
