A Pretty Perennial
Annual plants certainly have their place in the Garden, but by and large, I prefer perennials. I derive great satisfaction watching the perennials grow year after year, creating lush borders throughout the Garden. Last year, I planted Geranium ‘Rozanne’ in my home garden and it was a real standout. Not only is it a low maintenance plant, but it bloomed almost all summer! What more could you ask for?!
The Perennial Plant Association liked it so much that they declared it the ‘perennial of 2008.’ It likes partial sun and can tolerate dry, hot conditions. It grows well, given a little fertilizer, and will reward you with pretty blue flowers until frost. It’s a hearty growing plant and will easily fill in the space you give it. I noticed that it attracts a good number of pollinating insects like bees and skippers. It would make an excellent plant for hanging baskets and should definitely be considered as a border planting. This is certainly a plant you should have in your garden!
