I have developed somewhat of an obsession with hardy geraniums. These are not what people generally think of when you say 'geraniums', the latter are the bedding plants, 'pelargoniums', which people use for the summer, and which are perennial, but not reliably frost hardy. Hardy geraniums offer so much to a gardener; there are those for sunny positions, for semi-shade, for dry areas and for damp situations. Many of the geraniums I grow would be happy in just about any position in either of the gardens, although there are others that would only survive in one specific location, and if their specific soil condition requirements are met.
Due to the ever-increasing range available, it is very, and sadly increasingly common for geraniums to be mis-sold. I bought four 'Johnson's Blue' plants before I actually had a 'real' one, and I have bought a 'Nimbus' that was labelled as a 'Brookside'...with a picture of a 'Johnson's Blue' flower! Even specialist nurseries sometimes make mistakes. If you really want a specific variety, it is best to make sure it is in flower when you purchase it so that you can at least be sure you like what you are getting. As collector and enthusiast I try to ensure my descriptions are correct, and am confident with my identification of the species and generally the hybrids; however I cannot always guarantee that every single picture/specimen is exactly the cultivar stated (so forgive me if that is the case!).
Here are Geraniums from A to G...

Standhouders gezocht voor MAK's Biomarkt.

Elke laatste zondag van de maand organiseert het MAK een kleinschalige markt met Biologische, streek, en handgemaakte producten. We hebben veel vaste kraamhouders die hier al jaren staan en een mooie klantenkring hebben opgebouwd.
Om een leuk gevarieerd aanbod te houden zijn we af en toe opzoek naar nieuwe kraamhouders.
Bent u of kent u iemand die mooie producten verkoop en graag een aantal keer per jaar bij ons op de markt wil staan. Neem dan gerust contact met ons op.
Dit kan door een mail te sturen naar [email protected]

P.s. Zondag 29 september is de grotere Jaarmarkt (20 kramen) ook hiervoor zijn nog enkele kramen beschikbaar.

A compilation of many of the widely available larger flowered 'trailing' types of hardy geranium. EDITED with additions July 2023.
There are others that could arguably be included, eg. 'Dreamland', but I've concentrated on those usually sold primarily on the basis of being 'trailing types'.
Ordered (helpfully, I hope), in colour progression from lilac/violet 'mix', then lightest lilac, through pinks, magentas and purples to blues. I think this should highlight any differences, (however little!), between the newer introductions and established favourites...
