Geranium

Geranium sanguineum ‘Album’ is a low, spreading hardy geranium that produces crisp white flowers over a neat mound of foliage, making it ideal for the front of borders, rock gardens and pots.

Growing to around 15–25cm tall, it forms a weed-suppressing carpet and flowers through early to mid-summer. The foliage often colours attractively later in the season, extending the plant’s interest.

Plant in full sun or light partial shade in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It is tolerant of a wide range of soils once established and suits informal and cottage-style planting.

Water in dry spells during the first season, then only in prolonged drought. Light trimming after the first flush of flowers can encourage a fresh burst of foliage and repeat flowering.

Perfect for edging, groundcover and underplanting, this easy perennial pairs well with roses and grasses, and it is also a pollinator-friendly choice for wildlife gardens.

Geranium ‘Brookside’ is a hardy cranesbill that quickly forms a spreading mound of dissected green leaves, topped with masses of clear violet‑blue flowers with pale centres. It’s an easy, generous perennial for weaving through borders and keeping the garden looking fresh for months.

Plant in moderately fertile soil that drains well, in sun or light shade. It’s ideal at the front of borders, alongside roses, or as ground cover between taller perennials. Once established it’s resilient, but it looks its best with occasional watering in prolonged dry spells.

For the longest display, deadhead spent flowers and give the plant a light trim if it becomes untidy—this often encourages another burst of blooms. A spring mulch of compost helps retain moisture and feeds the soil for stronger growth and flowering.

The cool, blue‑violet tones are perfect with whites, soft yellows and silvery foliage, and the open, saucer‑shaped flowers also make a natural partner for ornamental grasses. It’s a reliable filler that also feels special when planted in larger drifts.

You’ll receive one plant in the stated grade, dispatched in season for planting. Settle it in well for the first few weeks and it will soon knit into a long‑flowering patch that returns each year with minimal fuss.

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.

Geranium sanguineum (bloody cranesbill) is a hardy, spreading perennial that produces vivid magenta-pink flowers with darker veining, creating a jewel-like carpet at the front of borders and in rock gardens.

Staying compact at around 20cm tall, it spreads to form a neat, bushy groundcover that flowers over a long period in summer and often develops attractive autumn colour as the season cools.

Plant in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. It copes with many soil types and is particularly useful where you need low, reliable cover without lots of maintenance.

Water to establish, then only during prolonged drought. A light trim after the first flush can encourage fresh foliage and repeat flowering, and dividing clumps in spring can rejuvenate older plants.

Ideal for edging, underplanting and wildlife gardens, this cranesbill pairs beautifully with roses and grasses, and it provides a long-lasting, pollinator-friendly summer display.
