Walker570 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 I was also about to say geranium....there are many varieties and a lot domestic garden varieties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Many people refer to pelargoniums as geraniums whereas true geraniums as per the OP`s photo are hardy unlike pelargoniums which are annuals and invariably used as bedding or in pots, hanging baskets etc. As Walker570 above rightly said, there are many varieties. The attached photos show just a couple of different hardy geraniums, the last one yet to flower in its normal bright blue. Not fully open as the sun`s gone down.

Walker570 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 They are very hardy and will grow almost anywhere other than plain concrete. This week four or five differing varieties where on offer in the Daily Telegraph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
