Cranesbill

Geranium x oxonianum Wargrave Pink

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: vigorous
• Flowering period: May to October
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  This lovely geranium is extremely vigorous and long flowering. It soon forms hummocks of distinctly veined, deeply divided evergreen foliage, smothered with funnel shaped, bright salmon-pink flowers from May to October. It can be thuggish, but given space is a useful groundcover plant for a cottage garden or herbaceous border. It self-seeds freely, too.

• Garden care: In midsummer rejuvenate plants that are beginning to look jaded, by removing old flowered stems and leaves. Lift and divide large colonies in spring
