Rozanne Hardy Geranium

The Rozanne Hardy Geranium is without doubt the most spectacular and beautiful of all the hardy geraniums available. Vigorous and easy to grow, it has perhaps the longest flowering period of them all, and what flowers they are. Large, open bowls of the most wonderful deep blue – a color always coveted and valued by gardeners. Topping the foliage in an abundance of glory, they keep coming and coming from late spring until finally stopped by the first frost. No groundcover can come close to the glory of this one, and yet it is hardy, reliable in returning the next year, and the year after that. Spreading into 2-foot sprawling clumps and rising almost as high in bloom there is no space in your garden that won’t be brought to life by this plant.

• Large violet-blue blooms with purple veins and a white center
• Rounded, deeply lobed leaves of dark green
• Fabulous as groundcover, in borders, pots and hanging baskets
• Grows in sun and partial shade
• Heat and drought tolerant

Grow the Rozanne Hardy Geranium in full sun for best blooming, but it also grows in partial shade well. Best in moist, rich but well-drained soil, established plants are drought tolerant, and heat resistant as well. Deer, rabbits, pests and diseases leave it alone and it needs little care or attention. Remove the flowering section of stems once they stop blooming, and cut back in fall to the basal clump of leaves.
