The Geranium sanguineum Vision Violet is a hardy perennial that is fully hardy once established, with a hardiness rating of H7 (-15 and below).

Geraniums are divided into two types: Greenhouse Geraniums (officially Pelargoniums) and hardy perennial Geraniums, also known as the Crane's Bill. The Geranium sanguineum Vision Violet belongs to the latter category, which is generally easy to grow and a great addition to any garden border. The Genus is huge and ranges from small alpines to large perennials.

These hardy perennials are happy in most conditions, apart from very wet and boggy areas. They can tolerate full sun to semi-shade and mainly flower from spring to late summer. With a low growth habit, they are ideal for ground cover and work well at the front of the border. For more vigorous varieties, trimming back after the first flowering can encourage regrowth and a second flowering. In winter, a good mulch will provide the plant with all it needs to shoot away in the spring.

Available in either a 9cm pot or 2 Litre pot, the Geranium sanguineum Vision Violet is a must-have for any garden. Add it to your collection and enjoy its unique beauty year after year.
