Annual. This is such a useful, lovely and carefree plant, it seems as though we should all be growing them! This is ideal for a hanging basket or windowbox arrangement. Leaves are ivy-shaped and delicate and come in a rich green or variegated form. Flowers are also dainty and come in white, pink, soft lilac, burgundy or red or a combination of those colors, depending on the variety you choose. They are available in single or double blooming varieties. Popular in Europe as a container plant and is also used as a groundcover. 'Summer Showers' is a variety which is easily grown from seed and is quite free flowering. In hot climates, bring baskets of ivy-leaf geranium indoors where they can benefit from air-conditioning during hot, dry periods in the summer.
