Geranium - Southcombe Double Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. |
