Geraniums for Your Needs
As we hop out of early spring—where tulips, daffodils, spring phlox, fleabane, and Virginia bluebells have had their moment to shine—we might find ourselves in a bit of a planting pause. Gardeners of yore called this the “spring gap,” a brief and peaceful egg-stra intermission between the cool-season bloomers and the peep-ing onset of summer color. But don’t let your clients’ gardens put all their eggs in one seasonal basket! If they're hunting for a pop of color during this lull, may we crack open a suggestion: the hardy geranium—truly the unsung workhorse of the shade garden!
