Re: Geranium renardii was:Hardy geraniums

Marge,
It sounds right to me.  I would add a couple of things.  I grow one plant,
the cultivar 'White Knights', in a raised bed made of railway sleepers, with
soil that is old alpine mix (a soil based compost mixed with a quarter extra
sharp grit), topped with an inch of gravel, in full sun.  In the height of
summer, I water the area every couple of days.  Alongside it are a number of
different G. cinereum subspecies, vars and cultivars.  All plants are
growing very well indeed and flowering well.  Another plant is growing in a
sunny border, alongside border perennials.  This one grows well enough, but
hardly ever flowers: I think because it is too easy for it, so the plant
just grows and grows.
