- Garden Performance
Geraniums aren't just about big blooms.
Exotic Leaf Geraniums enhance the garden with
stunning foliage not found on regular leaf
geraniums. Enjoy the vibrant yellow-green foliage
of Crystal Palace Gem, or the patriotic maple-leaf
shaped leaves of Vancouver Centennial. These
geraniums also bloom very well, you just don't get
the big spectacular blooms found on regular Zonal
Geraniums.
- Growing
Guide
Treat the Exotic Leaf Geraniums just like
your regular zonal geraniums: water only when
completely dry, fertilize weekly, dead head as
necessary.
