Geranium canariense

  • Product number: 588655
  • Origin: Canary Islands

The exuberant bloom above the large, spreading leaves of the Geranium palmatum amazes every enthusiast. But alas... it could be a bit more modest: behold the Geranium canariensis! The stems reach about 60 cm high, boasting an abundance of pink flowers that turn white towards the center. Give them a shady spot.

Cranesbill is the Dutch name for garden geraniums, not to be confused with the geraniums planted in window boxes and pots, which are called Pelargonium.

Sowing method: Year-round in a seed tray, first give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22°C), then a cold period, e.g., in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then gradually warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly in the ground is also possible; just let winter pass over it, and germination will occur in spring.
