Geranium × oxonianum 'Wargrave Pink' (Oxford cranesbill)
Geranium × oxonianum ‘Wargrave Pink’ is a hardy geranium that produces a steady flow of soft salmon‑pink blooms over a long season. The flowers sit above clumps of divided green foliage, making it an excellent, reliable plant for borders, path edges and relaxed ground cover.
It grows happily in full sun or partial shade and copes with many garden soils, as long as the ground isn’t waterlogged. Use it at the front of borders, underplanting roses and shrubs, or weaving between taller perennials to soften edges and fill gaps with colour.
Plant in spring or early autumn, water well to settle in, and add a mulch of compost to conserve moisture and feed the soil. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering, and lightly trim back after a flush to encourage fresh growth and more blooms later on.
The pink flowers are especially effective with blues and purples, silvery foliage and white accents. It’s also a helpful plant for pollinators, and its spreading habit helps suppress weeds once it has knitted together into a dense, low mound.
You’ll receive one plant in the stated grade, dispatched in season for planting. Give it a little room and occasional water in dry spells, and it will quickly form an easy, repeatable patch of colour that returns year after year with minimal attention.
