Log Cabin Retreat

Traditional Garden, Philadelphia

The colour within the garden keeps going even as the summer wanes. Cranesbill geranium (Geranium 'Rozanne') has violet blue flowers with small white centers and purple-violet veins which contrast well with the beautifully cut green leaves. This is a vigorous perennial geranium that grows in a mound to 20 inches tall. It is easy to care for and shows exceptional heat tolerance. It will flower almost non-stop from mid-May until frost with minimal burn-out in the heat of Pennsylvania summers. It works well as a "filler plant" - it can fill in beneath higher headed shrubs and perennials, covering both the empty space and the long legs of their neighbors.
