10 Seeds Double Purple Geranium Perennial Flower Hardy Garden Plant Attracts Pollinators

Prized for its abundant, fully double purple blossoms, this perennial geranium brings a romantic cottage-garden charm to borders and beds. The lush, mounding foliage remains attractive even when the plant is not in bloom, creating a neat, low-maintenance clump that returns reliably each year.

An excellent choice for edging pathways, filling gaps in mixed plantings, or underplanting roses and shrubs. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, while the foliage offers nice autumn color in some climates. Deadheading can extend the flowering period through early summer into fall.
