Geranium 'Gerwat' ROZANNE is sort of big and
blousey but dependable and I've never seen a seedling. My
three
favorites are
G. wlassovianum
G. renaadii 'Tschelda'
G. x oxonianum 'Wargrave Pink'
I've not seen seedlings from any of these, though they
may in some way contribute volunteers that I'm not recognizing. The
Bloody Cranesbills, G sanguineum and the Lancaster version G.s. var striatum
are guilty of traveling. The worst is the variegated G. yoshinoi; it
sows itself everywhere.

Subject: Geraniums (Hardy)
Had a really interesting speaker at our local Hort. Society
meeting this week. Topic was using Geraniums as a secondary plant,
filler, or for foliage colour. Her slides were absolutely great and
make me want to add at least one to my new tiny garden. I've had
several in the past - Jesters Jacket, Katherine Adele, Biokovo, Samobar,
etc. I would like a sterile one so I don't have to contend with
seedling, but really just want great foliage. If I get seedlings, they're
easy to pull out.
So which are your favourites? What has been
most successful for you? Can do either sun or shade.
