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?
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
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
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.
