Trying to grow geraniums in UK was a whole new education. Here in Greece the basic phone-box red ones are a garden staple, and, if their roots don't succumb to chaffer grubs, appear to thrive for years. I was surprised how readily pieces poked in the ground take root, even in the heat of summer.Tigger's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829665785202495073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472301814571448308.post-45152020407851274112020-07-08T08:57:08.339+01:002020-07-08T08:57:08.339+01:00I have more geraniums than usual this year as I ha...I have more geraniums than usual this year as I had to have a tray of 20 mixed colour small plants when I ordered some to be delivered a few months ago. They are planted in about 6 different containers and making colourful splashes around the garden. Cuttings will be taken later on, hopefully grow my own for next year in the unused front bedroom!
