Geranium renardii Tcschelda

<p>Hardy geraniums offer a <strong>very long flowering period</strong>, which can last <strong>over six months</strong> depending on the variety! They bear delicate flowers and <strong>ornamental foliage</strong>, <strong>sometimes evergreen</strong>. They form beautiful clumps or thick carpets of leaves. They are often confused with pelargoniums, which share the same common name and whose vibrant blooms adorn window boxes. This is a shame, as true geraniums have the advantage of thriving in <strong>open ground</strong>, are completely <strong>hardy</strong> and <strong>low-maintenance</strong>! They have a much more natural appearance than pelargoniums. </p> <p>Geraniums are vigorous and fairly <strong>easy to grow</strong>. They are <strong>resistant to diseases</strong> and help suppress weeds… These perennials are perfect for creating a flowering garden with <strong>minimal upkeep</strong>! What’s more, there’s a variety for every situation: full sun or shade, dry or moist soils… and even dry shade! Some geraniums will thrive in a sunny rock garden, while others are perfect for woodland areas with cool soil. They work well in flower beds, make excellent <strong>ground cover</strong> beneath trees or shrubs, and can also grow in <strong>containers</strong>, brightening up balconies and windowsills.</p>
