This exclusive mix of perennial geraniums, called Geranium Reflections, allows you to obtain numerous different plants from sowing, at a low cost. They all offer large cup-shaped flowers in a range of carefully selected colours: blue, mauve, violet, pink, or white. The famous bicolour variety 'Splish-Splash' is also included. No garden is complete without these hardy and easy-to-grow plants. They thrive in moist and fertile soils.
The perennial geranium belongs to the Geraniaceae family. The Reflections selection is composed of highly varied horticultural cultivars, derived mainly from Geranium pratense, the meadow cranesbill. This robust species is found in wet meadows, along roadsides, and in mown meadows. The geraniums in this mix are herbaceous perennial plants with a bushy habit, reaching heights and widths of 30 to 60cm (12 to 24in), depending on the plants. They flower early in summer, in June-July, at the top of branched and hairy stems, and sometimes bloom again in September. The flowers, with a diameter of 30 to 35mm (1in), come in a wide range of colours, with the petals often finely veined in darker shades. Among them, you will recognise the white corollas splashed with blue-mauve of the 'Splish-Splash' variety. The flowering is nectar-rich and attractive to pollinators. The foliage is deciduous, composed of large polygonal, lobed and dentate leaves, which are medium green in colour, measuring 20cm (8in) long. They appear almost all the way along the robust and hairy stems. The foliage takes on a beautiful bronzed hue in autumn, depending on the plants.
Like many other species of perennial geraniums, Geranium pratense, its varieties and hybrids, thrive in a naturalistic garden and are superb plants, providing nectar and pollen for numerous insects such as butterflies, bees, bumblebees, etc. It is ideal for a cottage garden, in borders, along pathways, or on embankments. It will quickly add a splash of colour to simple perennial beds, where it will be a faithful companion to columbines, peonies, lupins, bellflowers, poppies, and other tall daisies.

Botanical data
Sow perennial geraniums from February to June or in September-October. Use pots or trays filled with moist compost. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Keep the seedlings at 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F), protected in a mini-greenhouse or a transparent plastic bag. Germination usually takes about twenty days, but it can be slower. If your seeds have not germinated after 8 weeks, place the trays or pots in the refrigerator for 3 weeks to break dormancy, before returning them to 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F).
The recommended method to successfully sow wood geranium is to replicate the germination conditions it experiences in nature as closely as possible.
As the young plants appear and when they are large enough to handle, transplant them into 7.5cm (3in) diameter pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days before planting them in their final position, spacing them 60cm (24in) apart.
In its natural habitat, Geranium pratense thrives in woods and slopes in areas with annual mowing. It prefers a sunny exposure and moist, rich, limey soil. In heavy soil, incorporate leaf compost into the garden soil in the planting hole. It tolerates partial shade, although it may be less floriferous. After flowering, it is advisable to cut back the stems and leaves to ground level to prevent excessive self-seeding and to encourage new foliage or even a second flowering in autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
