Re: Geraniums for shade

Hello Marilyn,
   Thanks for the tips on hardy geraniums from your shade garden. There are so
many out there to choose from. I have actually reached the point where some are
coming out to be replaced by others I like better. I have simply run out of room
in the garden for more geraniums. Never thought I would see the day when I would
complain about my garden getting full. Only took 14 years to just about fill it.
Of course, there is the rest of the 5 acres.....;-))
