Excellent information. I have two acres and most of it is wooded. I’ve been looking for plants and flowers for it. These seem perfect for my situation. Hydrangeas are one of my favorites. I propagated three and they are absolutely gorgeous this year and loaded with blooms. They are so pretty amongst my salvias.

The full common name is "Our ladies mantle."

Do people really still say the name geranium for pelargoniums ( yes l know it's the same family). I thought that had died. out twenty years ago or more to stop the confusion. . Remember in lot of countries geraniums are also called storkbills.

[@Gardeningknowhow]

Geraniums belong to a different plant genus, so to avoid confusion, some people refer to Geraniums as 'hardy geraniums' and Pelargoniums as 'tender geraniums'.
