Geranium spp. and/ or cvs.

Overview

Geraniums (Geranium spp. and/or cvs.) are the hardy and colorful flowering plants that grace gardens and window sills. They come in a wide range of sizes, colors and price points, making them accessible to any budget. Geraniums require direct sunlight for most of the day for optimal flowering and bloom in clusters of vibrant, five-petalled blooms. Although many are sold as annuals, many species are perennials with winter hardiness, and can be used to brighten roadsides, gardens and landscape beds. Geraniums require some simple maintenance such as regular watering, deadheading and fertilizer to keep them blooming.
