With stunning hues ranging from white to bright pink or purple, true geraniums provide a riot of colour that draws the eye and fragrance that lifts the heart. Choose an array of these delightful blooms to grace your garden from spring to autumn.

Planting depth and spacing varies, depending on the varieties you choose. To prolong the flowering season, ensure you remove the dead flowers and stems. This encourages new growth and fresh blooms. They require no other pruning, and only need moderate but consistent watering.
