My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Perennial Geranium That Thrives in Shade

6 years ago

I've noticed that, although most geraniums are "full sun to mostly shady," some like more sun than others. Can you tell me which geraniums have thrived in shady conditions in YOUR garden?
