DH & I saw this geranium pictured in Garden Gate Magazine & we are trying to locate it. Anyone grow it? Where did you get it? What do you think of it?

TIA-

Beth

the only geranium I know is Chocolate Mint which is a scented. Don't know if this is what you were looking at.

Thanks, but the Chocolate Candy Geranium is a hardy geranium, a perennial in my zone. It has beautiful burgandy foliage, but I can't seem to locate it any place in the US. I know its out there...

Beth - I googled the name and this place is listing it here (scroll down to where Geraniums are listed) as available in June. Apparently it is a UK cultivar originally discovered in Holland and is only recently being introduced into the U.S. as of a couple years ago.

Mobot claimed that K. Van Bourgondien & Sons, Inc (the Dutch Bulbs folks) had it but I didn't see it on their site.

Anyway, good luck. That looks neat and would give more options for adding dark leafed perennials into the garden.

Thanks Jenny, I did a web search too, but was not as lucky as you to locate it in the US. I'm very excited, thanks for your help!

You will find Geranium 'Chocolate Candy' in this small nursery (Robin Parer) specializing in the genus Geranium.

Just bought some 'Chocolate Candy' geraniums at our local nursery. Here is the web site of the grower suncrestnurseries.com. They list the nurseries they supply. Good luck.
