Geranium Purple Glow

Geranium Purple Glow is a clump-forming hardy cranesbill well suited to Irish gardens, thriving in sun or light shade and most moderately fertile, well-drained soils. It forms a tidy mound of lobed green foliage and provides a long season of easy colour, perfect for the front of mixed borders, path edges, or for underplanting shrubs. Low-maintenance and reliable, it benefits from a light trim after the first flush of flowers to encourage fresh foliage and a tidier habit; keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged for best results. Fully hardy and dependable in typical Irish conditions.

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.
