A true, repeat flowering Cranesbill Geranium that is so easy to grow everyone should have one! In fact, plant one, you will wish you had planted two!
The pretty violet-blue flowers (6cm across) are bountiful from spring right up to autumn. It is an absolute garden sweet heart with a prime track record.
Geranium ‘Rozanne’ has won awards around the globe. It was honoured as North America’s Perennial of the Year in 2008, since that time her popularity has never wavered. In 2013 it was voted by the people to be the plant of the Centenary for the Chelsea Flower Show. It also holds the Royal Horticultural Societies Award of Garden Merit. It has been on the world market since 2000, and it remains the best there is.
Geranium ‘Rozanne’ is an easy to flower Geranium, which is tough in the ground. It grows with vigour though is never invasive and it will cope with a bit of neglect. The foliage forms a neat mound of mid green leaves, that turn bronze-red in autumn before going to ground, re-emerging, invigorated for the next season.
The flowers of Geranium ‘Rozanne’ adorn the plant from spring, usually right up to frost. Cut back after the first flush (around mid summer) and add some fertiliser to encourage a more prolific ‘second round’ of blooms and a nice bushy habit.
Geranium ‘Rozanne’ makes a wonderful ground cover, or potted plant, where the foliage and flowers will spill over the side. It is tolerant of most soil types so long as they are well drained. In pots, quality potting mix should be used. A good choice in combination with spring bulbs as it comes into its own as the bulbs are fading.
Plant Geranium ‘Rozanne’ in full sun to light shade and fertilise at the beginning of spring, and again in summer. Keep moist during active growth for best flowers. Once established it will withstand dry periods.
