True Geranium Plants

True Geranium Plants produce small, thin stemmed flowers held above dense foliage that is usually deeply cut and which often displays bright orange and red fall foliage. They attract butterflies and bees and are deer-resistant.

True Geranium, (pronounced troo jer-AY-nee-um) commonly called Cranesbill or Hardy Geranium, are wonderful specimens for planting where they will spill over a rock wall or can have the freedom to spread as a ground cover. A sloping, difficult-to-mow hill would be ideal!

Most cultivars can be sheared back to promote a re-bloom, while some bloom all season long with hardly any care at all. This perennial should be divided every 3-5 years to maintain its healthy fullness and more profuse blooming.

Biokovo True Geranium Plant

Price $5.25

The 'Biokovo' True Geranium Plant is the original cultivar of the hardy geranium hybrid. The masses of white flowers have barely ruffled petals with pink and lilac veining and are often softly touched with lightly blushing pink, especially at the base. The most arresting features though are the gracefully curving pink stamens that gradually change from light to dark pink and then are topped by cherry red anthers. The foliage is medium-dark green and highly aromatic, almost lemony. This is a naturally occurring hybrid discovered in the Biokovo Mountains of Croatia. 3" Pot Size.

Brookside True Geranium Plant

Price $5.25

The 'Brookside' True Geranium Plant blossoms in rich, violet-blue with white eyes and has two blooming seasons. It will bloom the first time in late spring and last through midsummer and then will bloom again in early fall, its blossoms remaining until the first frost. But the beauty doesn’t end there. The deeply cut leaves turn brilliant shades of orange and red in the fall, a striking contrast to the deep blue flowers still in attendance. 3" Pot Size.

Johnson’s Blue True Geranium Plant

Price $5.50

The 'Johnson's Blue' True Geranium Plant is one of the best-known of this genus and has been a flower gardener’s favorite throughout the years. The 2", perfectly formed, 5-petal flower is a deep periwinkle blue with lighter centers that seem to make the flower shine. Fine cut, feathery leaves form frilly clumps, the perfect frame for these gorgeous flowers. In the fall you can look forward to brilliant shades of red and orange foliage. 3" Pot Size. Sold Out for 2012.

Orkney Cherry True Geranium Plant

Price $5.50

The 'Orkney Cherry' True Geranium Plant hails from an island off the northern coast of Scotland. Held aloft by bronzy-green foliage, the hot pink flowers have white centers and lacy wine-colored veining. This variety is an incredibly long bloomer, remaining covered in masses of blossoms from late May, in some areas, clear through September. 3" Pot Size.

Rozanne True Geranium Plant

Price $7.50

The 'Rozanne' True Geranium Plant was selected by the Perennial Plant Association (PPA) to be the Perennial Plant of the Year in 2008. The title is well-deserved. Rozanne meets or exceeds all of the Association’s criteria. At first growing in clumps, Rozanne will spread, especially in rich, fertile soil. Her main attraction of course, is her flowers. Rozanne’s blossoms are lilac at the center, but fully 3/4 of the petals change to a vivid violet-blue with even darker veining and edges. This variety blooms consistently across the full season and the deeply-cut, emerald green foliage stays pretty. 3" Pot Size.
