Are my geraniums dead?

11 years ago

Hello folk,

When do cranesbill geraniums leaf out in the spring? We had a massive landscape project completed in the fall. Everything is leading out quite nicely except the cranesbill geraniums - Rozanne. There should be 15 of them in a new bed at the side of the house, but there is nothing there. The other things in that bed are coming in a treat - bugle weed, irises, Fothergilla, dwarf magnolia.... Just no geraniums.

Virginia, zone 7a

Thanks!

Rozanne is just waking up for me (most of mine are a bit more ahead but some are still lagging behind). Just a couple of small, pale half-inch leaves appearing...unlike Red Admiral in the same bed which has burst into leaf...so I wouldn't give up hope yet. In my experience, Rozanne is extremely reliable (although I do not have to live with the mood swings of US weather).

15! Must look astonishing in full bloom.
