Geranium
'Wargrave Pink'
cranesbill
Geranium 'Wargrave Pink' is a charming cranesbill with soft rose-pink flowers and a wonderfully easy manner, the sort of perennial that makes a border feel settled without trying to take over the neighbourhood. Reaching around 40cm high, it forms a relaxed, leafy mound that slips beautifully between roses, shrubs and summer perennials. Unlike some more enthusiastic geraniums, Geranium 'Wargrave Pink' is well behaved, neither rampaging about nor seeding itself with alarming confidence. Its pretty pink blooms bring a gentle brightness through early summer, with a freshness that suits cottage gardens, informal borders and those awkward gaps that always appear just when guests are due.
For best results, plant Geranium 'Wargrave Pink' in sun or partial shade, in ordinary, well-drained garden soil, where it can soften edges and knit planting together with very little fuss. After the first flowering, cut the plant right back before midsummer and it will often reward you with a second flush, which feels pleasingly like getting an encore without buying another ticket. Geranium 'Wargrave Pink' pairs beautifully with lavender, catmint, salvias, alchemilla and pale roses, creating a soft, long-lasting summer tapestry. Hardy, dependable and quietly decorative, Geranium 'Wargrave Pink' is an excellent choice for gardeners who like generous flowering, good manners and plants that know when to stop.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
