Geranium Plants

The geranium that brightens your landscape with its brightly colored flowers may be one of two different species.

However, most often the geraniums that delight us with their profuse blooms are from the genus Pelargonium.

Zumi Crabapple

The Zumi Crabapple Tree, `Malux x Zumi Calocarpa,' is a semi-dwarf crabapple that may be used as a street tree. It is most valued for its profuse, spring flowering of fragrant, white blooms and its small, glossy, bright red fruit. The crabapples will mature in the autumn, and likely persist into December. It is very effective when planted as a background for other early flowering plants. It is also commonly grown near fences, in groups as a screen or as a specimen planting in a lawn or patio.

Silver Brocade

The Artemisia Silver Brocade, `Artemisia stelleriana,' is a compact, silver-white perennial plant with a height of fifteen inches and a spread of over two feet. This wooly plant produces yellow flowers in early summer that are not very showy. This plant prefers sandy soil but does need a well drained location with full sunlight and a small amount of afternoon shade. This plant can be paired with Echinacea Purple Coneflower or Rudbeckia Black Eyed Susan to add interest to any garden or accent fresh or dried flower arrangements.

Mars Grape

The Mars Grape (Blue-Purple), `Vitas labrusca Mars,' produces seedless, medium sized grapes that are perfect to serve fresh on the table, as well as in making jams and jellies. It is very similar in character to the Concord grape. This is the most disease resistant variety of grape that we carry, and the fruits will ripen in mid to late August. Grape vines can also be grown as ornamentals or screens in the landscape.
