Vision® Violet Geranium

(12-24″ tall x 12-24″ wide) ‘Vision® Violet’ Cranesbill is an excellent choice for low maintenance, ground covering color, and form. The purple cup-shaped flowers nod above finely cut deep green foliage from late spring to early summer. Tidy mounds of foliage about 12 inches tall make a lovely border and fill-in for a perennial bed. Nice in containers, they are also beautiful with ornamental grasses. Foliage may be lightly sheared back after flowering to revitalize the plant, but it’s not necessary. A hardy perennial (zones 4-9), it is both heat and cold tolerant. Plant ‘Vision Violet’ in average to compost-enriched well-drained soil in a full sun to full shade location. It prefers average watering. Deer and rabbit resistant, bees, and butterflies love the flowers. Over time it will gently naturalize to form low mounding tidy masses.
