Geranium sanguineum 'Vision'

Product number: 588740
Origin: Europe
Latin: Geranium sanguineum

This is a rather compact species with deeply incised leaves and an abundance of violet-pink flowers. The height is 20-40 cm and it blooms from June until October. By occasionally pruning the plants, you extend the flowering period and keep the plants compact. In autumn, the leaves turn deep red. Give them a shady to semi-sunny spot.

Cranesbill is the Dutch name for garden geranium, 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 in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature again, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly in the ground is also possible; in that case, just let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
