Archive for the ‘Hardy Geraniums’ Category

Found a new Canadian source for Geraniums, Rockwood Gardens They are part of Brecks Ltd. I bought my Alba Rugosa from them years ago. The hedge is still going strong.

Out of the five geraniums offered, four are on sale. One I’m considering for my own garden, Raspberry Star. The other, Espresso is only 6.99.  I use hardy geraniums at the front of my rose beds.

If you like the bloom in the header, you might like to know that the Double Jewel Hardy Geranium can be ordered online from Veseys. I just got my catalog and they have several others I’m considering for this growing season.

The Birch’s Double looks like a good companion for my roses and I can picture Crystal Lake at the base of Mme Hardy.

The Double Jewel is growing next to a Hunter rose. Bought it late in the season so it didn’t bloom that much yet. You won’t find the Hunter in the Rose Collection. It nearly died and I moved it. Sometimes I need to move plants a few times to find the right spot for it.

In the same bed, I have a Broad petaled Geranium (Platypetalum) and it did very well.

Now I placed the catalog aside for a few days. Or else I’ll be ordering more than I can handle again.
