Geranium (Hardy Geranium or Crane’s Bill) sanguineum ‘Patricia’

This hardy geranium cultivar is a bushy, sprawling, clump-forming perennial with palmate, deeply lobed, dark green leaves (2-3″ across). ‘Patricia’ typically grows in a creeping mound of about15-25″ tall with a similar spread across. It features 5-petaled, magenta-pink flowers with black star-shaped centers.

Flowers bloom in late spring (May-June) in hot summer climates, but may bloom throughout the summer in cooler northern climates. Summer rebloom may occur if plants are cut back hard after flowering. A superb plant for a cottage garden or informal border where it is close to its neighbors, and is particularly good teamed with old fashioned roses. Suitable for cut flowers.

Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerates some drought, but prefers and spreads best in moist, humusy soils with good drainage. Deadheading is tedious for larger plantings and probably unnecessary. Spent stems may be removed at any time to control spread. If not deadheaded, some self-seeding may occur in ideal growing conditions. Foliage may decline after flowering in hot summer climates, at which point it may be lightly sheared back and shaped to revitalize.

Pests or Diseases: No serious insect or disease problems.
