Garden Weekends - by Amanda Crotty

Geraniums

April 12th 2008 09:49

Geraniums come in many varieties and colours. included are photos of a few different types I have flowering in my garden at the moment. Geraniums are a very old fashioned plant that in my opion never went out of style, they look good and grow well in pots as well as the garden.




This is my double pink geranium. After they finish flowering I cut them back to form a neat compact bush.



One of my favourites is this lovely white ivy geranium, you may notice the ivy shaped leaves in the background. Ivy geraniums require a bit more water and shelter than other varieties.



This double orangy red one seems to be almost constantly in flower. Geraniums are very easily grown from cuttings, I let the cut ends dry out a bit before putting into soil. I would love to have as many types of geraniums as I can find to grow in my garden.
