As spring breaks, Geranium pratense 'Summer Skies' begins to build up energy, ready to produce a soft mound of lush, green weed-suppressing foliage. Then, in May, a mass of buds smother the foliage - later bursting open with lovely, large blooms and a magnificent floral display throughout the summer, until October. Geranium pratense 'Summer Skies' is so named as it is reminiscent of a wonderful sky on a summer's day! Romantic, tightly double, almost rose-like, pastel blooms emerge in shades of lilac-mauve - maturing to lavender-pink. Each flower has a contrasting sunshine-yellow centre, giving a two-tone effect. Certain to add summer charm wherever you choose to plant them. Geranium pratense 'Summer Skies' is a tough, undemanding plant with a short bushy habit. Plants reach a height of 90cm with a spread of approximately 60cm and prefer well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. As a fully hardy perennial it will thrive outside for years without winter protection required.
