Perennial geraniums are one of the most useful plants in a UK garden. They are evergreen,weed supressing and flower for about 6 - 8 weeks. After flowering give them a hard prune and in 4 weeks or so they'll flower a second time. They are available in pink,red,blue , blue and white and white and vary in height from 20-40 centimetres.
They can be underplanted with the taller spring bulbs such as daffodils or tulips.

Actually this is probably another specimen, but same species as the last one.

Plante velue de 25 à 50 cm aux tiges teintées de rouge, à racine pivotante.
Feuilles gracieusement découpées, d'un vert gai devenant rouge en fin de floraison.
2 fleurs rose vif par pédoncule.
5 pistils soudés prolongés par un long bec.
A maturité, chaque pistil se détache en demeurant maintenu par une lanière qui se recourbe de sorte que l'ensemble ressemble à un lustre. Ainsi les graines sont éjectées alentours
(ejection explosive)
L'infusion de la plante entière, sauf la racine (20 g par l d'eau) a une action astringente, diurétique et tonique. Elle servait à cicatriser les plaies par son action hémostatique et antiseptique.
Les feuilles froissées entre les doigts dégagent une odeur végétale, piquante, poivrée, tonique, un peu musquée, qui éloignerait les moustiques.

ROZANNE is a patented hybrid clump-forming geranium. It is noted for its almost long growing season. I have not trimmed it this year, yet. It's at the edge of my West slope garden. I might be able to run the lawn mower over it."
