Geraniums, also known as Crane’s Bill, are a diverse genus of plants that range from small alpines to large perennials. Unlike greenhouse geraniums, which are actually Pelargoniums, hardy perennial geraniums are easy to grow and thrive in most conditions. They prefer moist, well-drained soil and can tolerate full sun to partial shade. With a flowering season from spring to late summer, Geranium x oxonianum Walter’s Gift is a reliable and long-lasting addition to any garden.

This herbaceous perennial is fully hardy once established, with a hardiness rating of H7 (-15 and below). It is available in either a 9cm pot or 2 litre pot, allowing you to choose the best size for your garden. For vigorous varieties, trimming back after the first flowering will encourage regrowth and a second round of blooms. In winter, a good mulch will provide the plant with the nutrients it needs to thrive in the spring.
