Product Description
Hardy Geraniums, or 'Cranesbills' as they are commonly known, are one of the easiest and best garden performers for low maintenance, flowering displays, and versatility to growing conditions. Everyone should find space for them!
A real showstopper, from May to July every year, Geranium Censation 'Kora' stands tall above its foliage and produces incredibly beautiful blooms with delicate, tissue paper petals in an eye-catching shade of mauve-blue with contrasting white centres. Not to be confused with bedding Geraniums, more correctly called Pelargoniums, these really are one of the most versatile plants - sun or shade, wet or dry, pots or garden, they just keep doing their thing year after year.
From their dormant state over-winter, in spring they produce neat and tidy small domes of foliage that will become smothered in flowers in Summer. A mecca for bees, they will be buzzing with activity on sunny days.
Supplied as 3 x bare root plants, ready to plant out.

Care Guide
- Before planting, prepare the soil by digging over and removing any weeds. Incorporate some well-rotted manure to enrich the soil if necessary.
- Knock the plant from its container. Look at the roots – if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the root ball along the bottom edge and pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil.
- Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep and wide enough to set in the root ball. The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground.
- Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps and your heel on larger areas.
- Water in well to settle the soil and prevent desiccation.
