Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Give your Rozanne Geranium at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best flower production. While it tolerates partial shade, especially in hotter climates, too much shade will result in fewer blooms and leggy growth.
Soil: This plant thrives in well-drained, moist soil rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay soil, amend it with compost or pine bark to improve drainage and prevent root rot, which this geranium dislikes.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, keep the soil consistently moist to help the root system establish, watering deeply once or twice a week. Once established, Rozanne is moderately drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry spells keeps the foliage lush and the blooming continuous. Inconsistent watering often leads to browning leaves and a pause in flower production.

Pruning Tips

Rozanne blooms on new growth, so you don't need to worry about cutting off future flowers. If the plant starts looking scraggly or stops blooming in mid-summer, shear it back by about one-third to encourage a flush of fresh, tidy foliage and a second wave of blooms that lasts until frost.

Fertilizer Needs

Feed your geranium with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the season, as they push leafy green growth at the expense of flowers and can leave the new stems vulnerable to winter damage.

Looking for a wonderfully showy flowering display that lasts and lasts at ground level? Easy-care Rozanne Hardy Geranium, (Geranium x 'Gerwat') features beautiful, 1-inch violet-blue blooms through the growing season. Rozanne is the most versatile, long-blooming, heat and humidity-loving hardy Geranium you can buy!

In 2013, the esteemed Royal Horticultural Society of Britain named Rozanne the "Plant of the Century". It took home the top title in the Chelsea Flower Show's 100-year history.

So...what's so special about Rozanne Hardy Geranium? First, there's the bloom time. Deeply colored in shades of violet-blue, flowers with large white eyes begin appearing in late spring/early summer and keep coming in profusion until frost. Much to the delight of your many pollinators!

Rozanne grows low and spreading, beautifully mounded and covered with the most incredible flower display of sterile flowers that will not produce any seed or spread to areas where you did not plant them. Deep-rooted plants, Rozanne Cranesbill are strong and persistent in the landscape.

Oh, and the deeply cut leaves turn a nice, bronzy-red fall color, too. It will polish up the look of your plantings with ease.

This is a sterile, clump-forming plant. It won't set seeds or outgrow the mature spread listed in the Plant Hightlights. Many Geraniums fizzle in the heat and humidity of summer, but not Rozanne. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 8, Rozanne is extremely adaptable!

Planting and Application:

This high-performance flower factory has a valuable, spreading growth habit that will softly fill the edges of your landscape. Add them in full sun or partial shade and enjoy blooms, blooms, and more blooms!

Create non-stop color and bold flower power in Rock Gardens and between pavers. Brighten up your foundation plantings. Add them in narrow new planting beds in front of mature evergreen trees.

Use them at the edge of your perennial plantings, or as a fill plant in wide, open areas as a spreading massed groundcover. Create a solid display by planting them 12 inches apart. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

Stagger additional rows in a zigzagging pattern, as needed. Plant the new rows 12 inches apart, as well. Mulch between plants and keep them weeded as they fill in for you. It won't take long!

This is a fantastic addition to borders and large patio containers in the South and Southwest. Tuck them around the edge of your large outdoor containers. You'll have a valuable "Spiller" that adds interest all season.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

For the best flower production, ensure that your chosen planting site receives at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight a day. Rozanne Cranesbill performs best in well-drained soil. If your soil retains water, plant in containers or create a raised bed. Provide new plants with regular moisture until they are established when Rozanne then becomes fairly drought tolerant. A 3-4-inch layer of arborist mulch will boost your plant's health significantly and keep them stress-free.

You may want to lightly trim the plants in mid-summer if they need freshening up, but they simply will continue to bloom no matter what. In late fall after the plants have been exposed to several killing frosts, you can snip off the plants to the ground level and remove all of the season's tops so they are ready to re-grow in spring.

How often should I water my Rozanne Hardy Geranium?
