Geranium 'Gerwat'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Geraniaceae
Plant Description: This Geranium is a lush, low-growing mound of deep green, slightly marbled foliage. It has delicate, violet-blue, five-petalled flowers with purple veins and white centers, that bloom throughout summer with a smaller flush of colorful flowers in fall.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
