Kentlands Photowalk: Geranium Ground Cover IMG 5027

Geraniums for ground cover are a good selection in Kentlands, our home community within the City of Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878. I like to photograph the tiny flowers but it does take a steady hand.

“Hardy geraniums are a great ground cover plant for sunny or partially shaded areas, but they are often confused with the beautiful annual geraniums found at the garden centers in spring. Technically, annual geraniums are in the genus Pelargonium, while the hardy geraniums are true Geraniums.” – Sarah Browning, Nebraska Extension Educator

Good Monday morning Miss Dolores and Mr. Roy. Debbie has geraniums in pots that are still growing and blooming at mid October. I'll ask her if she's thought of using them for ground cover.

Hardy gernamiums are probably different geraniums than the ones Debbie has in pots.

I've not seen that geranium before. I only know the red ones. My mom is allergic so I never get them.

I can't imagine what geraniums would look like as a ground cover. I only recall seeing them as bushes.

We have the coldest morning of the season in Montgomery County, Maryland. It is definitely time to get out the sweaters.
