Sidoides Geranium delivers nine months of flowering in a compact 12-18 inch footprint, making it exceptional for containers, rock gardens, or water-conscious landscapes. Its low water needs and full-sun preference mean it actually performs better when slightly neglected, and its heirloom status speaks to generations of gardeners returning to it for reliability. The extended bloom window from March through November provides consistent color when many other plants have faded.
