2008 Perennial Plant of the Year

written by gardenlady

Geranium 'Rozanne'
Zone 5-8
18-24"h x 20-24"w

She is being touted as a long-flowering beauty. Offering two inch violet-blue saucers with pale centers, this lovely perennial will grow easily in your garden. The leaves are somewhat marbled and turn a russet red in the fall.
The flowering time is from spring till frost, with the most blooms in early summer.

Rozanne will take full sun or partial shade, however if grown in too much shade, the blossoms will be sparse and the plant, leggy. Plant her in well drained soil.

Other outstanding features include being very low maintenance and also, highly resistant to deer and rabbits. Rozanne is rarely bothered by pests and insects.

Being a hybrid, any seeds would not prove true, but Rozanne seldom sets seeds, but can be divided every three years.

Rozanne can be tucked under a gate, fence or at the base of a climbing rose. She also makes a noteworthy statement along the border. As a versatile perennial, Rozanne can be grown as a ground cover or in a hanging basket.

Enjoy Rozanne!
