    • Why we like this plant

      Geranium 'Patricia' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting colour and reliable performance.

    • About this plant

      Geranium 'Patricia' is a hybrid of Geranium psilostemon, combining its parent’s intense magenta colouring with a more compact, controlled growth habit. Its striking flowers, each with a dark central eye, bloom profusely from early summer to autumn. The deeply lobed, mid-green foliage forms a spreading mound that provides excellent ground cover and seasonal interest, turning red in autumn. This hardy and easy-to-grow geranium is a superb choice for adding bold colour to borders, cottage gardens, and wildlife-friendly spaces, attracting bees and other pollinators throughout its long flowering season.
