Geranium × oxonianum ‘A.T. Johnson’
Cranesbill Geranium |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.230.080
The Border selections of Cranesbill Geranium are valuable fillers for the perennial garden. This hybrid forms a broad mound of glossy green foliage, bearing a summer-long display of cup-shaped medium-pink flowers. Plants need to be cut back hard in midsummer to encourage fresh new foliage. Easily divided in spring or fall. One of the best choices for massed plantings, filling in quickly to create a bushy groundcover. Evergreen in mild winter regions.
