GERANIUM Mrs Kendall Clark \nCommonly known as Cranesbill and sometimes referred to as Hardy Geranium. \nFirst grown in the British Isles in the 16th century the Cranesbill should not be confused with the half hardy Pelargonium popularly referred to as Geranium. \nUsually found in the herbaceous border where it is used with great success to suppress weed growth. \nThis very popular geranium produces light or violet blue saucer shaped flowers with attractive white or grey veining in mid-summer. \nCut the plants back hard immediately after the first blooms fade and you will be rewarded with a second flush. \nOne of the tallest and most vigorous of the Cranesbills at around 2-3ft Mrs Kendall Clark may need some staking to keep the plants looking neat and tidy in the flowering season. \nA tough all round plant suitable for problem areas and will tolerate cold exposed locations. \n Geraniums will grow happily in any reasonable garden soil in full sun or dappled shade. \n If the plants begin to look scruffy they respond well to being trimmed back. \nLarge or overcrowded clumps of Cranesbill can be lifted and split or divided in March or April. \nKeep for slugs in spring and cut back the stems to ground level in autumn. \nRoyal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit (AGM). \nAll pictures used are of mature plants in bloom and are for illustration purposes only.

This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.\n\nWe want you to be happy with your purchase and all our items are checked and inspected visually before packing. at .  .
