Geranium Blushing Turtle

Geranium Blushing Turtle is a clump-forming hardy cranesbill well suited to Irish gardens, making a neat mound of divided green foliage and delivering reliable summer interest in mixed borders. It thrives in sun or light shade on moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil, and is excellent for soft edging, informal groundcover beneath shrubs, or weaving through cottage-style plantings. After the main display, trim back to tidy and encourage fresh growth.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
