Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Geranium ‘Dragon Heart’ is a magnificent hardy perennial with large magenta blooms of up to 4cm across. Flowering sporadically, from summer to early autumn, its vivid blooms glow above a handsome mound of dark, green foliage. This hardy Geranium has a carefree, spreading habit that makes superb ground cover, meandering through the front of cottage garden borders. Like all Cranesbills, it is a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects making it a useful addition to wildlife gardens. Height: 50cm (20"). Spread: 80cm (32").

Pot up geranium plants into 9cm pots and grow them on in frost free conditions. When plugs are fully rooted into their pots, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days and transplant into borders. Choose a sunny or semi shaded position on any well drained soil. Work some well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil prior to planting. Firm plants into the ground and water well to settle the soil.

Water regularly until fully established. Remove old foliage and faded flower stems throughout the growing season to promote continuous fresh growth. In autumn, cut the foliage back completely. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure to the base of the plant in spring. Lift and divide hardy geranium plants every third year to maintain their vigour.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
