leaves. 2l pot.
After a lengthy
dispute, DNA tests now show this to be G.
'Rozanne' and it has been re-named
accordingly. If a customer seeking a hardy
geranium has left the Nursery without one of
these, it won’t be Raymond’s fault! He
recommends it to everyone and rightly so.
It’s a fantastic plant, smothered in bright
blue flowers 2” across and with a large white
eye, fading beautifully as it ages, lucky
thing! It blooms from around May, right up to
the first frosts and is great ground cover.

This huge leafed plant
is a very dramatic statement in a large
garden. In a small one, it will devour it! It
seems to do best in deep, permanently moist,
rich soil. In winter, we cut a few of the
leaves and bend them over the crown to
protect it from frost. Borderline fully hardy
so don't risk not protecting it in this way.
It's also fascinating to watch it grow. One
day there's nothing to see and the next it's
zooming skywards. It grows to at least 8'
tall and has a huge spread. 2l pot up to
mid-May, if not too large for sending.
