Geranium
Pelargonium
The most common geraniums available at garden centers actually belong to the genus Pelargonium. They are from the same plant family as the hardy perennial Geranium (Cranesbill), but Pelargoniums (pellarr GOE nee um) are tender perennials only hardy in milder climates. Geraniums are best planted in full sun though some varieties can tolerate some shade. The most common types include:
Zonal: This group is prized for its large beautiful flower heads and the leaves have a dark zonal pattern. Some zonal geraniums have fancier leaves edged by various colours. Excellent for borders, containers, window boxes, and baskets.
Ivy: This type has ivy-like leaves, a trailing habit, and can tolerate a fair amount of shade. They are perfect for hanging baskets and window boxes. Great for window boxes, containers and baskets.
Calliope: This breakthrough plant is a cross between a zonal geranium and an ivy geranium, representing the best features of both. The Calliope Geranium grows best in full sun and can reach heights of up to two feet. The large flowers are long-lasting and bloom throughout the summer. The geranium looks best when planted in groups, making it perfect for a border, edging, or centerpiece in the garden. Also nice in containers and baskets.
Martha Washington or Regal: Large frilly flower clusters make this type of geranium a prized plant in the garden. They have woody stems and can grow up to 2 feet tall.
Scented geraniums: These geraniums are grown not for their flowers, but primarily for their fragrant leaves. Available in various scents such as ginger, mint, citrus, and rose.
