Geraniums are grown for their incredible showy flower displays in summer. The cinereum geraniums come in many colours and are a range of dwarf or small flowering plants
These plants are hardy, but their foliage is deciduous. This means that geraniums are herbaceous perennials and die back every winter, but come back again every spring
If you want guaranteed colour in your garden every year with very little maintenance, then plant a few geraniums or sow some geranium seeds. They require little work each year. Just cut them back in late autumn once the flowers have died back and give them a feed in mid to late spring to boost growth and ensure good flowering that season
