The hardy geraniums charm us with their delicate flowering and easy cultivation. Although most are deciduous, there are also evergreen varieties. We appreciate their foliage which remains decorative even in midwinter. The persistence of the leaves often depends on the climate. Many varieties remain evergreen in mild climates, but lose their leaves if winter is too harsh. This is the case with Geranium macrorrhizum. However, there are also varieties that stay evergreen even in relatively cold climates, like Geranium cinereum.
