Geranium 'Storm Cloud'
- This brooding, sultry geranium variety is about as sophisticated as they come. 'Storm Cloud' boasts stunning ruffled, bluish-purple blooms in abundance throughout the summer months.
- Besides the flowers, this variety also sports stunning deeply-cut foliage, which emerges an intense red before maturing to a dark racing green with time (retaining an outer red-tinged edge).
- Don't let its delicate flowers fool you, this geranium is about as tough as they come, easily withstanding whatever the British winter can throw its way thanks to its H7 hardiness rating.
- Easily propagated by division, you can lift and divide your geranium(s) every few years to secure yourself lots of lovely new plants. Score.
- Thriving in partial shade, 'Storm Cloud' is a great choice for underplanting trees with lighter canopies (like silver birches, for instance).
- Please note: this page includes selected AI-assisted imagery for illustrative purposes.
