Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We are re-introducing the Black-Flowered Geranium, a cactus geranium, that's famous for its intense, heavy and rich night scent. Blooming in late winter and throughout the spring season, the flowers have dark maroon petals accented by golden edging. The leaves have a bluish cast and grow with ruffled edges. Like any geranium, it can tolerate some dryness and prefers to be grown in full sun. Mature specimens often experience a dormancy during the summer months but will soon return with vigor once the shortened day length of fall arrives. Supplies are limited. Order early.
