Collection: Geraniums and Pelargonium Plants

You can plant hardy geraniums year round, but the best planting time is in spring or early summer, which gives the plant time to get established before the colder months.

Hardy geraniums grow best in well draining soil and full sun to partial shade. They can tolerate any soil type but really thrive in fertile, moist soil.

Water your hardy geraniums regularly, especially during dry or hot spells. They do prefer slightly dry conditions rather than wet soil though, so go easy…

Hardy geraniums do just fine without feeding, but it does no harm to give them a boost with a general purpose fertiliser in the spring.

Hardy geraniums do what they say on the tin, laughing in the face of frost and cold temperatures. You don’t need to do anything apart from mulching around the base of the plants to insulate the roots, but they won’t die if you don’t.

Hardy geraniums benefit from deadheading, which encourages the plant to flower continuously throughout the summer. You can also trim back the foliage in the autumn to tidy up the plants and promote new growth in the spring.

You can divide hardy geraniums every few years to reboot them and get more plants. Divide the plants in the spring or autumn, making sure each separate section has plenty of healthy roots and shoots.
