Your Geranium amazing! I just bought the G. Renardii and bohemicum, than those that grow wild in the garden, they bloom in the border brings fun. Ciao!

I’m amazed to see that many varieties of geranium. In our climate, even the commonest ones are difficult to grow. You have a stunning collection. The patterns on the petals are really beautiful.

All of your geraniums are so pretty. They are not hardy for me in my garden. I used to grow all sorts of different scented geraniums and I would winter them over in the living room.
Wonderful to see all the different varieties you grow.

I admire your beautiful geraniums. I am in awe that you know the name of each one!

HM: That comes from being a plant collector and having a bad memory – I label everything. I don’t want to duplicate :-)

Your geranium collection is impressive! With what other plants do you grow them and what do you do about the space they leave after blooming?

Karen: I’ve replied in a comment on your blog.

I have always admired these “wild” kind of geraniums. You have a great selection and each is very special and beautiful. It must be wonderful to have them in the garden. This is one plant which absolutely refuses to grow in my climate, not even in pots. I am glad to see your delightful collection.

Titania: You may have no hardy Geraniums but you do have other plants of which I am very envious :-)

That’s quite a collection. That reminds me, I had a couple hardy geraniums at one point, I guess I lost them. I probably let them dry out. I’m not good about keeping things well watered, but I really liked a couple of them, I ought to try again. Thanks for the inspiration.

Megan: Give them a try again – the Mediterranean ones seem to like dry conditions – which saves on the watering!

I love all your hardy geraniums. I only have a few here but find they are so easy to grow. I must look for some more. I never knew there were so many!

Tina: There are lots but I’ve not got room for them all – which is a pity :-)

You have some beautiful varieties of hardy Geraniums in your garden EG. I think Geranium cinereum ‘Ballerina’ is my favorite with her dark veining on those lavender pink petals. :)

Racquel; Yes ‘Ballerina’ is lovely – a very intense colouration.
