Scrambling Geraniums...I love that description!

I absolutely love hardy geraniums! I say one can never have too many. What a wonderful tip about using them where the bulbs are planted. I understand so much better how to use mine now. Thanks a million!

I never realised there were so many different types and colours of Geraniums. Thank you for sharing 😁

I have just bought two. And can't wait to see them fill out like yours. I have an Anne Thomson super excited. Thanks for covering this.

Amazing plants, that is what they are ❤️🤩 Great suggestion regarding bulb planted areas 😃

Thanks so much for telling us about these hardy geraniums and how they are ideal for planting near our spring bulbs. I had no idea so I really appreciate this little gem of gardening know how. 🤗

I added Rozanne to my street project...they are delightfull and reliable ...bullet proof plants. The whole geranium family is nice ... they are heat and drought tolerant ...even dog tolerant.
Proven winners.
Enjoy your garden.

My favorite perennials are hardy geraniums. Thank you for your video...

Just came across you great video. I have a couple of the purple geraniums clumped together and others dotted around the garden that have self-seeded.

Please could you advise when would be the best time time of year to split the the clump and transplant them elsewhere as well as moving the self-seeded plants to more suitable locations? Be very grateful for your advice. Thank you.

I wonder if renardaii would grow well on a stream bank. Its foliage is so interesting.

[emkn]

Renardii is lovely, and I wonder if it may be less attractive to deer because of what appears to be rougher foliage? Those pesky things tend to enjoy snacking on my various other geraniums.

Hi, thank you for your video! There are two geraniums in your garden Anne Thomson and An Folkard. One is looking more in flowers. Which one is this? Thomson or Folkard? Also I thought Thomson is smaller but they look the same size.

We have a large tree in the garden and everything within a metre radius around it seems to struggle, except the spring bulbs which were great. E.g. Nigella African Bride and Poppy seeds barely grew. I'm not sure if its the water/nutrients being taken by the tree, or the (partial) shade. But your comment on planting around bulbs got me thinking, could geraniums be the answer in this part of the garden?

So will I be able to plant other seeds next to my tulips and daffodils, ready to replace them, when they die off next summer?

[tinagriffiths]

What size pots should you plant geraniums in ?

Combien de temps met pour s’installer un géranium vivace plante en petit godet ? Les miens plantés il y a 2 ou 3 ans ne font toujours pas de belles touffes. Merci.
