Geranium 'Dragon Heart'
Best heat-tolerant perennial for gardeners in humid or coastal climates.
This is the rare hardy geranium that actually thrives when the mercury climbs, shrugging off humidity and salt spray that would wilt lesser varieties. It trades the delicate, finicky nature of traditional perennials for a robust, magenta-blooming habit that anchors a garden bed with effortless, rounded structure.
