Geranium hybrida Dusky Crug is a striking perennial grown for its rich, dusky foliage and soft lavender pink flowers that appear from late spring into summer. The deeply coloured leaves create a warm contrast in borders, while the airy blooms sit above on slender stems, adding gentle movement. It is perfect for naturalistic planting, cottage gardens and mixed borders where you want foliage interest as well as seasonal colour. Dusky Crug forms a neat, spreading mound that weaves nicely between other plants without becoming intrusive.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
