{"product_id":"geranium-dusky-crug","title":"Geranium 'Dusky Crûg'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA superb choice for adding depth to the front of a border, this hard-working perennial offers rich, dark foliage that remains interesting long before and after the flowers appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves emerge with a distinct chocolate-bronze hue, forming a neat, low mound that acts as excellent ground cover. From late spring right through to autumn, this dark backdrop perfectly offsets the masses of pale pink, saucer-shaped blooms, which are delicately veined in magenta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is smaller and more contained than many other hardy cranesbills, making it ideal for edging paths, rock gardens, or containers where its unique colouring can be admired up close. It is unfussy about soil type provided it drains well, though a sunny position will ensure the leaf colour remains at its most intense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarnsdale tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the plant begins to look a little tired after the first main flush of flowers in mid-summer, shear the whole clump back hard. This stimulates a fresh flush of that wonderful dark foliage and often encourages a second wave of blooms later in the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJune-August flowering. Will grow in sun or semi-shade in most soils. Height \u0026amp; spread: 45cm x 60cm (18\" x 24\").\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnsdale Gardens","offers":[{"title":"2 litre","offer_id":58290386305398,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/8271\/1357\/files\/geranium-dusky-crug-01.jpg?v=1784287639","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnsdalegardens.co.uk\/products\/geranium-dusky-crug","provider":"Barnsdale Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
