FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow hardy Geraniums in the UK?

Grow hardy Geraniums in spring or autumn, when the ground is moist and workable. They establish quickly in borders and many types also grow well in pots.

Are hardy Geraniums the same as bedding Geraniums?

No. Hardy Geraniums are perennial cranesbills that return each year, while bedding Geraniums are usually tender summer plants grown for one season.

Where is the best place to grow hardy Geraniums?

Many hardy Geraniums grow in sun or partial shade, but the best position depends on the type. Most prefer soil that is moist but well-drained and are useful for filling gaps between larger plants.

Should I cut back hardy Geraniums after flowering?

Yes. Cutting back tired foliage and faded flower stems after the first flush of flowers can encourage fresh leaves and sometimes a second display later in summer.

Do hardy Geraniums spread in the garden?

Some types gradually form larger clumps or spread into ground cover, while others stay compact. Divide large clumps in spring or autumn if they become too wide for their space.
