Geraniums Annuals

Annual Geraniums generally seed very freely and some care should be taken when planting them in the garden. They go through their entire life cycle in one growing season, so seeds can be started in the spring, and the plant will grow, flower, and die by the end of the summer. No climate zone information is given for these plants, as the seeds should be planted after the last frost.

This charming geranium for light shade comes originally from the UK where it was first introduced in 1989. It has pale green and very light creamy-yellow veined and splashed leaves and mid lavender flowers with a white eye. It forms a low mound about 12 x 18" when mature. It is very useful under shrubs and trees in the garden where it produced little splashes of artificial sunshine. It is cold hardy from USDA Zone 4-5 up to Zone 9.
