Use Hardy Geraniums as spilling accents in Rock gardens, in the dappled edge of woods gardens, wildflower and pollinator borders, or in the Perennial and Cottage garden! The space-saving size is ideal as a spiller and filler in your porch and patio planters! Try a Boom Chocolatta spilling over a windowbox or as dramatic filler around the base of larger container specimens! They'll do wonders for that tricky hell strip along driveways, walkways and the sidewalk too!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Perennial Geranium do best in full sun and partial shade, and are very resilient herbaceous perennials! Cranesbill needs a planting site with at least 4 hours of sunlight a day. They'll do best in well-drained soil. Use a raised bed, if your soil drains slowly.
In the late autumn, after enjoying the fall foliage, you'll trim down that year's foliage to an inch above ground level and topdress with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch to keep the crown and roots insulated and retain moisture all winter. New stems are produced from the roots each spring on this reliable deciduous perennial.
- Use in Full Sun or Partial Shade
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Well-Drained Average Soil
- Prune in Late Autumn
- Cold-Hardy Perennial
Blue and bronzy purple, the Boom Chocolatta Hardy Geranium will drop a colorful bomb on your garden with vivid blooms and dramatic foliage color! Order your quality perennials today at Nature Hills today!
