Notes
'Rozanne' crane's-bill (Geranium 'Rozanne') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. The large purple-blue flowers have black anthers and a white eye, and they bloom from late spring until frost. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The green foliage turns red in autumn, and bees visit the blooms often.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Stargazer lily, and Knock Out rose.
