Geranium ‘Crystal Lake’

Description

Allow Geranium ‘Crystal Lake’ to gradually sprawl to fill bare spaces in borders, working as an effective and beautiful ground cover with its lush green leaves and dainty, nectar-rich blooms. This hardy geranium will light up almost any dull spot in the garden with its almost-luminous flowers, held above attractive green foliage on reddish stems. It spreads gradually and gently and is fairly compact in height, bearing a profusion of pure and striking blooms through the summer: a pale alpine blue, white towards the eye, from where lines of dark purple veins radiate outwards. Geranium ‘Crystal Lake’ is an easy plant for illuminating areas that need a lift, shining out attractively even as the light fades in the evenings. After the long flowering season, its lightly marbled leaves create a lush ground cover until winter sets in.

Geranium wallichianum ‘Crystal Lake’ is a an easy-going perennial, happy in most garden soils and flowering well in sunny spots or in partial shade. The lobed foliage creates attractive mounds, eventually stretching to fill a space to around 60cm across. It’s easy to slot into gaps in borders, along pathways or jostling among the legs of roses and other shrubs. Geraniums like ‘Crystal Lake’ are a great option for those looking for a low-maintenance plant that is fuss-free and has good resistance to pests and diseases. They add easy-to-achieve floral charm to most situations, and have the added bonus of attracting pollinators to the garden.
