Long-Blooming, Fast-Growing Groundcover

Gardeners choose the Geranium Rozanne over similar plants because it flowers longer and more robustly. Remarkably, it can also grow two to three feet in a single season! And its ability to spread efficiently??without overwhelming other plants??means this perennial is ideal for covering landscaping bald patches.?

The Geranium Rozanne is hardy, so your plant requires minimal care. It only needs full or partial sun and well-draining soil to thrive.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: The Geranium Rozanne spreads several feet each growing season, so leave room when planting. Choose a location with damp and well-draining soil that receives full (6+ hours) to partial (4-6 hours) of sun daily. If the plant gets too much shade, it will lose its dense foliage and produce fewer flowers. However, the warmer your climate, the more shade your geranium will need.?

2. Watering: Keep your Geranium Rozanne??s soil moist. Once established, it can better tolerate drought.

3. Fertilizing:?Add a balanced, granular fertilizer to your geranium in spring.?

4. Pruning: In late summer, you may need to trim back your Geranium Rozanne if it looks too ragged. New flowers and foliage will take its place. In fall, you can also cut back your geranium to the soil and then cover it with mulch to protect it when the soil freezes.
