Perennial Geranium 'Anne Thomson'

Handsome, mounding, bright green foliage topped with masses of cerise purple flowers. The flowers have a deep purple, almost black heart that punctuates their beauty. It grows close to the ground so is ideal as an edging plant, filler or ground cover. It arrives in time to fill in for the fading spring bulbs and can bloom across three seasons (around Dec-Apr for us).

Cranesbill Geranium ‘Anne Thomson’ holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you know it has been tried and tested, is simple to grow and care for and will look good in the garden.

Geranium ‘Anne Thomson’ is an easy to flower Cranesbill Geranium which is simple and robust. It grows with vigour, though is never invasive and will cope with a bit of neglect. The flowers sit proud of the foliage to best show their beauty and attract friendly pollinators.

The decorative, deeply divided foliage forms a neat mound of mid green leaves, that turn bronze-red in autumn before going to ground, then re-emerging mid spring, invigorated for the next season. In fact it gets better year after year.

Geranium ‘Anne Thomson’ is tolerant of most soil types so long as they are well drained. Ok in pots but remember potting mix is perfectly drained so you would need regular watering and the addition of fertiliser to maintain blooming.

Plant Geranium ‘Anne Thomson’ in full sun to light shade and fertilise at the beginning of spring, and again in summer with a prune to keep them blooming into autumn. Keep moist during active growth for best flowers. Once established it will better withstand dry periods.
