White is very popular in the garden this year. It goes with everything, is great as a contrasting colour, "pops" out in shady areas, and is stunning when the entire garden is white. We sell lots of white geraniums, but we think they are a bad idea. Here's why: geranium blossoms open slowly, first at the top, then gradually the florets open, moving down the blossom, and the last ones to open are at the very bottom. That's just the way geraniums work. The trouble is, there is at least a 10 day difference in floret opening times on a geranium bloom. The first ones will be "past their prime" by the time the last ones open, and on a white geranium, this shows up as icky brown!
