Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This low perennial is a favorite among geranium lovers. It grows up to 18" tall and 2'-3' wide. Saucer-like, white flowers bloom from spring through fall. The leaves are bright green, finely cut and quite divided. Plant in full sun or half sun. It looks good in rock gardens, borders and containers.
Grow in full sun to part shade in well drained soils. Tolerant of sandy or clay soils. If the flowers seem to wane with the summer heat, cut the plant back hard and it may bloom again when the temperatures begin to drop in late summer.
