Hardy Geranium Question: sun/soil

19 years ago

HI.

I have just placed an order from one of the recommended websites posted here in the forum. I love geraniums and I seems to be addicited right now.

But I have a question, what is the best soil, and if geraniums are supposed to be for "shade" than why are most shown in sun? I have dapppeled sun and want to get the most of some of the colors that I ordered, like espresso I want to show the brown, nad Elizabeth Anne, to show her colors.

What is the best choice for sun and soil?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Laura

G. maculatum ,pratense,G. cinereum, G. phaeum
