RESUSCITATION

I have mentioned that a lot of annuals turn to perennials here. I am working on a new one.

I had some great geraniums last winter and spring. They grew bushy and strong with a lot of blooms all the time.

Then summer came and the sun knocked them down. They all browned and lost their foliage. No flowers for sure.

I kept watering them.

Low and behold, come the 'autumn' sun, there are small new leaves on the old brown growth. They are going to come back.

I have talked around and know now that I should have pruned the upper branches off to encourage low growth. So I did it now anyway. They look good.

We will see.

Perennial geraniums. Imagine.
