Growing to a height of 12 inches, ‘Tony Monster’ Geranium is like all
geraniums, very reliable! It has blooms that are large with a bright magenta
color. Along with these prolific blooms, it also is a vigorous grower. This
geranium is a hardy perennial and should not be confused with annual
geraniums.
Plants
should be set in the soil no deeper than the depth they were growing in the pot;
if possible, plant more shallow. If you plant too deeply, stem rot will usually
kill the plant. This geranium prefers partial sun and grows in zones
4-11.
For
best results, plant ‘Tony Monster’ in a dry to moist area in a well drained
site. It is a superb plant for cottage gardens, container growing, borders or
informal borders in mass plantings. ‘Tony Monster’ will benefit from a good
shearing after initial flowering to encourage new foliage and rebloom.
Attracting bees and butterflies, it is very disease and deer
resistant.
‘Tony
Monster’ originated from the nursery of Germany's famous Countess Helen Von
Stein.
