Hardy Geranium Summer Skies
Hardy Geranium Summer Skies
Long-lasting, yet low-maintenance floral displays are what every gardener wants, but rarely achieves. It seems that an entire season's worth of blooms is accompanied by a season's worth of work to keep the flowers coming. We suggest offering Summer Skies Hardy Geranium to your clients and customers. This beautiful cultivar features glorious soft violet-blue, fully double flowers with dark veining and a hint of pale green at the center. The fragrant blooms appear in mid spring and continue to grace vigorous, drought-tolerant plants until late summer. Summer Skies is quite easy to grow and attracts butterflies to borders, container gardens and perennialized landscape sites with ease. PP10695

Definitely Hardy
I bought two bags of these, 6 plants, and failed to open the box for 2 weeks, big mistake, instructions said to open immediately. Nonetheless, I looked on line and saw that some people put these bare root plants in a pot inside. (We had been having freeze alerts when these arrived). I did that, put each of the plants in a custard cup in a reasonably sunny window and watered them. By now, three of these plants have shoots with green leaves, a 4th is just starting a shoot, and the 5th appears to have strong roots and will probably also survive. I love the color of these, they are just right for my zone, so I have ordered three more bags of these, but now, freezing weather is over. I'm going to start them inside in custard cups nonetheless and plant in the garden after I see green leaves.
