Geranium × oxonianum ‘Claridge Druce’


Cranesbill Geranium

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.230.350


The Border selections of Cranesbill Geranium are valuable fillers for the perennial garden. This vigorous hybrid forms a broad mound of glossy green foliage with black markings. It bears a summer-long display of cup-shaped soft-pink flowers, with cerise-pink veins. Plants need to be cut back hard in midsummer to encourage fresh new foliage. Easily divided in spring or fall. One of the best choices for massed plantings, filling in quickly to create a bushy groundcover. Evergreen in mild winter regions.
