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!

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.
