Geranium 'Orkney Cherry': Dwarf Cranesbill – Bronze Foliage and Pink Flowers

Geranium 'Orkney Cherry' – Orkney Cherry Hardy Geranium

Geranium 'Orkney Cherry' is a stunning, compact hybrid cranesbill (PP18263) bred by Bremner and introduced in 2006. It forms a tight, low mound of deeply lobed, bronze-chocolate foliage that holds its color well through the season. In early summer, it produces a profusion of clear pink, saucer-shaped flowers with darker veins, held just above the foliage. The contrast is striking.

'Orkney Cherry' thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. It is more compact and less spreading than many hardy geraniums, making it perfect for the front of borders, rock gardens, and containers. The unique foliage color provides season-long interest even when not in bloom. A modern, high-impact perennial for small spaces and foliage-focused designs.
