A perennial summer flowering plant for the front of the border. Not always an easy decision. The tendancy is usually to settle for annual plants. Another option is to consider hardy geraniums, there are a number of low growing varieties to choose from.
One of the better ones, if not the very best, is (Max Frei), flowers are a rich magenta. The plant forms a perfect round clump, described in most catalogues as being about eight inches tall, I find that in our garden the plant is five inches. Max Frei flowers from mid june until early august. It is not a geranium that is hard to find, in fact it would be described as one of the more common varieties, in spite of this if you have not grown it before, give it a try and I am sure like me you will be pleasantly surprised.
