Thanks Robin, for explaining the difference between dormancy and evergreen. I guess I was thinking that the term "evergreen" was like the pine trees. I wondered if the G.Farreri seeds might not be available from the U.K. since that seems to be where T&M get most of their geranium seeds. Also thought I would mention that I received my 'Splish Splash' seeds from T&M and guess what? On the packet there was only the designation of Geranium pratense striatum. Nothing about "Splish Splash" at all. Hmmmmm...... makes one wonder . Just thought I would let you know sense we had discussed the terminology that they had used.
