“Margery Fish, the famous gardener and gardening writer, once said: ‘When in doubt, plant a geranium’, and I agree with her”, says Carol.
“So, the first plant on my list is a hardy geranium and if I can only pick one, it would have to be Roxanne, which always gives you such an abundance of delicate purply-blue flowers.”
It does like the sun and will thank you for reasonable soil, but after that, it will be happy nearly everywhere in the garden, its airy foliage spreading along the ground.
“You can also grow it in a large pot,” she adds, “on a sunny patio or balcony, which will allow the flowers to cascade beautifully over the top.”
Like all herbaceous plants, Roxanne will return every year – only this one, like a good friend, will probably be the most loyal.
