Geranium 'Dark Eyes' is a striking perennial known for its vibrant, rich magenta flowers with dark centres, creating an eye-catching contrast. This hardy geranium variety, also known as Cranesbill, typically grows to a height of around 45cm with a spread of about 30cm, making it an excellent choice for borders, weed-suppressing groundcover, or containers. The plant’s deeply cut, green foliage forms a neat mound that provides year-round interest, with leaves turning a warm bronze in the autumn. Blooming from May to September, 'Dark Eyes' produces large, saucer-shaped flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. It thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and prefers a fully sunny or partially shaded position. This low-maintenance plant is drought-tolerant once established and is resistant to most pests and diseases, making it ideal for gardeners looking for a trouble-free perennial. Perfect for mixed borders, rock gardens, or woodland areas, Geranium 'Dark Eyes' offers both beauty and durability.
