Perfect for Cottage Gardens
Review of Cranesbill by Freespirit

Advantages: Perfect cottage garden flowers which will grow anywhere
Disadvantages: Can be a bit untidy looking sometimes

Cranesbill is the common name for the true hardy geraniums which are daintily flowered perennials which lazily flop, sprawl, and spread themselves around in every self respecting cottage garden.

These flowers are known as cranesbills because of their long beak ... Read review

What a gem
Review of Cranesbill by blondmaiden

Advantages: Reliable, hardy and loats to choose from
Disadvantages: Some can be vigorous

I recently did a course where the tutor was crazy about hardy Geraniums or Cranesbills which I thought was rather strange until she gave me some cuttings and I was hooked. There are loads to choose from and they flower for months on end, indeed the little cutting I was given flowered from May until late September and the flowers covered the plant. They come in several shades of pink, blue, mauve and white and many are semi evergreen. Geraniums ... Read review
