Geraniums, also known as Crane's Bill, are a diverse genus of plants ranging from small alpines to large perennials. The hardy perennial Geraniums, like the 'Gravetye' variety, are easy to grow and a great addition to any garden border. They are adaptable to most conditions, except for very wet and boggy areas, and mainly flower from spring to late summer. Their low growth habit makes them ideal for ground cover and works well at the front of borders.

For vigorous varieties, it is recommended to trim back after the first flowering to encourage regrowth and a second flowering. In winter, the plant will die back, but a good mulch will provide all the nutrients it needs to shoot away in the spring.
