Geranium - Southcombe Double For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. |
