looking for a pink, burgandy or rose colored hardy geranium

15 years ago

I'm hoping someone here can help. I'm looking for a clump forming perennial geranium that gets between 12-20 inches tall approximately.

Here's the tough part. It will planted next to a coreopsis "zagreb" on one side and a lavender "jean arthur" on the other. The lavender is pink flowered but zagreb is a warm yellow and as a result, many pink flowers don't look good next to it. Anyone have some suggestions?

How about Samobor? I just bought one at our garden club sale. It's really cool because it's got maroon flowers and two-toned leaves: burgundy and green. It seems to be the height you are looking for. Here is a link about it.

What about G.'Nimbus'? It has purplish-pink flowers, and finely cut feathery leaves, that are gold-tinged when young. I find it to be long-blooming, drought tolerant, good in part shade or sun, and generally quite tough.

Here is a link that might be useful: geranium Nimbus
