Geranium Plants

If you’re looking for a tough, perennial plant for the border, hardy geraniums are among the best. ‘Rozanne’ is one of the longest flowering varieties, Geranium phaeum ‘Joseph Green’ and ‘Sambor’ will cope with shade, while Geranium sanguineum ‘Appleblossom’ is low-growing.

Pelargoniums, often called geraniums, are tender plants perfect for a colourful summer display. For a hanging basket, try trailing, ivy-leaf pelargoniums such as our Geranium peltatum varieties or plants from the ‘Rosebud Collection’. Read our guide to planting hanging baskets for top tips.
