A vigorous spreader, Geranium x oxonianum 'Claridge Druce' (Cranesbill) is a superb hardy geranium cultivar featuring lovely rose-pink flowers (2in. wide, 5 cm) with interesting darker veins from late spring to early fall. Blooming profusely, they rise atop attractive mounds of glossy, rounded, gray-green leaves. Drought tolerant, this hardy geranium fares pretty well in hot climates. Reliable, and easy to grow, it will provide long-lasting color in the garden. Geranium 'Claridge Druce' is a fertile hybrid of Geranium endressii and Geranium versicolor. May self-seeds in the garden.

• Clump-forming, this semi-evergreen perennial grows in a creeping mound up to 24-30 in. tall and wide and requires very little maintenance!
• Performs best in full sun or part shade, in moderately fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerates some drought, but prefers consistent moisture. Attractive to butterflies, but deer and rabbit resistant!
• A perfect border plant, it is a spectacular addition to beds, borders, banks and slopes, ground cover, cottage gardens, city gardens, and underplanting roses and shrubs. Great in containers too!
• This Geranium is generally not subject to serious pest or disease issues. Watch for vine weevil, sawflies, slugs and snails, and powdery mildew
• Remove flowered stems and old leaves to encourage the production of fresh leaves and flowers. Propagate by division in spring or propagate by basal cuttings in early to mid-spring and root with bottom heat
