Commonly used in containers and garden beds, these classic geraniums produce large, rounded flower clusters in shades of red, pink, white, salmon, and lavender. Their thick, lobed leaves often have a pleasant, citrusy scent and may feature decorative zoning or variegation. Geraniums bloom continuously from spring to frost with minimal effort, thriving in sunny locations and well-drained soil. Heat-tolerant and versatile, they are excellent for patios, window boxes, and garden edges. Deadheading spent blooms encourages even more flowering throughout the season.
