Geranium ‘Rozanne’ named 2008 PPA Plant of the Year

The best, most garden-worthy hardy Geranium you can grow has been awarded top honors by the U.S. Perennial Plant Association, being named 2008’s PPA Plant of the Year. Its large 2½" saucer-shaped flowers just never quit. Violet-blue blooms with white centers flower profusely from late spring through November, or until frost. Its mounded, slightly marbled, deep green foliage becomes reddish brown in fall for added interest. Unlike many Geraniums, 'Rozanne' has great heat tolerance, too!

A “rock star” in the plant world, ‘Rozanne’ even has its own website. For everything there is to know about this top-notch perennial, visit www.geraniumrozanne.com.
