Geraniums are divided into two types – Greenhouse Geraniums (officially Pelargoniums) and hardy perennial Geraniums, also known as the Crane’s Bill. Geranium oxonianum Lambrook Gillian belongs to the latter category, which are generally easy to grow and a great addition to any garden border. The Genus is huge and ranges from small alpines to large perennials, making it a versatile and diverse plant.

These hardy perennials are happy in most conditions, apart from very wet and boggy areas. They can tolerate full sun to semi-shade and mainly flower from spring to late summer. Their primary growth habit is low, making them ideal for ground cover and working well at the front of the border. For more vigorous varieties, trimming back after the first flowering will encourage regrowth and a second flowering. Once they die back in winter, a good mulch will provide the plant with all it needs to shoot away in the spring.
