Geranium 'Philippe Vapelle'

A clump-forming perennial, Geranium 'Philippe Vapelle' is a unique and eye-catching addition to any garden. Its attractive blue-grey leaves have a softly hairy, finely wrinkled texture, reminiscent of its parent plant, G. renardii. The wide-open flowers have notched petals and a striking blue-purple colour with darker veins.

Geraniums are divided into two types: Greenhouse Geraniums (officially Pelargoniums) and hardy perennial Geraniums, also known as Crane's Bill. Geranium 'Philippe Vapelle' belongs to the latter category, which is generally easy to grow and a great addition to any garden border. The Genus is vast, ranging from small alpines to large perennials, making it a versatile and diverse plant.

These hardy perennials are adaptable to most conditions, except for very wet and boggy areas. They can tolerate full sun to semi-shade and typically flower from spring to late summer. With a low growth habit, they make excellent ground cover and work well at the front of borders. For more vigorous varieties, trimming back after the first flowering can encourage regrowth and a second round of blooms. In winter, a good mulch will provide the plant with the necessary nutrients to shoot away in the spring.

Geranium 'Philippe Vapelle' is available in either a 9cm pot or 2 Litre pot, making it easy to incorporate into any garden. Don't miss out on this stunning and unique perennial, perfect for adding colour and texture to your outdoor space.
