Most nurseries carrry some sort of Hardy Geraniums. Hardy Geraniums
are nice but some of them are a true pest. I have one variety in my
yard(sorry, don't know the name) which self seeds every where. It is
nice to have pop up in some places but end up pulling most of them. Now
don't get me wrong, it is only one type in my yard. If I was going to
recommend a Hardy Geranium, it would be Geranium macrorhizum. Why?
Because it is everygreen where I live. You can use this plant as a low
border hedge. If you would like to see a full list of Hardy Geraniums
and understand their propagation methods, I would recommend a book to
read:
