A superb Blooms of Bressingham selection, Geranium 'Bevan's Variety' boasts eye-catching fuchsia blooms for up to 4 weeks every year! Unlike other varieties, it doesn't require constant deadheading to keep it blooming beautifully from late spring to late summer, but trimming stems after flowering will make the show even more spectacular. And the show doesn't stop in summer, either - in fall, the foliage burnishes with reddish bronze tones in the cool autumn weather. Its 1-inch pink blooms are held above dense mounds of aromatic, deeply lobed foliage, and attract butterflies to the garden all summer long. Deer are turned off by its mildly pine-scented foliage, but you'll appreciate the extra fragrance in the garden, especially if it's planted near a pathway or patio.
Bevan's Variety tolerates heat and humidity much better than most Geraniums, and its thick rhizomes give it an edge over other varieties in times of drought. When used as a ground cover, the dense foliage of this mounding plant keeps weeds to a minimum and acts as a mulch for neighboring plants. It reaches 8 to 10 inches tall but spreads to 18 to 24 inches over time. Ideal for containers, borders, or edging, this easy-care beauty grows best in full sun to part shade. Zones 3-8.
