Geraniums for the heat

Article Abstract:

Floribundas are a new group of geraniums in pink and red varieties that bloom even in hot weather. Although flower clusters are smaller than old fashioned geraniums, floribundas bloom throughout summer in cascades. Adding lime and fertilizer to the soil increases yields and some shade is suggested.
