Geraniums and Pelargonium Plants

Geraniums and pelargoniums (commonly both thought of as geraniums) are hardy, easy to grow, and most importantly, look fantastic wherever they are. Whether you plant them in hanging baskets, borders or even indoors, these bold, beautiful plants and their gorgeous flowers will brighten any space! Grown in the glorious Herefordshire countryside, our geraniums and pelargoniums have been raised to thrive in British gardens.

Which geranium?

Which geranium?

Geraniums (like those in our Hardy Geranium Collection) are perennials which can be grown all year round outdoors, whereas pelargoniums are half hardy or tender and are usually grown as annuals. They can be brought indoors for the winter then transplanted outdoors again the following spring. Many geraniums and pelargoniums have enticing fragrances, and many varieties are known for attracting pollinators.

Planting schemes and partners

Planting schemes and partners

Geraniums and pelargoniums are both perfect bedding plants, and hardy geraniums, in particular, make a fantastic addition to any cottage garden planting scheme. Hardy geraniums can also enhance rock gardens, too. The larger annual pelargoniums are also ideal for planting in pots, containers and hanging baskets. For a low growing, weed-suppressing ground cover plant in beds and borders, we recommend a hardy geranium like Rozanne or an upright pelargonium variety such as Scented Odorata Rose.

Growing tips

Growing tips

These plants are equally happy in full sun or partial shade, in any average, well-drained soil. They flower from May to September, producing more flowers if deadheaded regularly and fed with liquid tomato feed. It’s also very easy to take cuttings from both plants! Geraniums and pelargoniums are easy to grow and low maintenance, which is something we absolutely love about them.

Geranium FAQs

When is the best time to plant hardy geraniums in the UK?

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.

Where should I plant hardy geraniums?

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.

How often should I water hardy geraniums?

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…

Do hardy geraniums require fertilisation?

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.

How do I care for hardy geraniums in the winter?

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.

Do hardy geraniums require pruning?

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.

Can I divide hardy geraniums?

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.
