Why when taking a few cuttings are they placed at the side of the clay
pots
as opposed to the middle of the pot?

Is there such thing as a annual geranium, or all they all perennial?

Thanks


The drainage and air supply are better at the pots edge.

There are indeed annual Geraniums and annual pelargoniums

Thanks for that. I asked a lady at our local garden centre and she stated
there are only perennial geraniums and there is no such thing is an annual
geranium.


There are lots of annuals including a large number that are uk native
plants Geranium rotundifolium, Geranium columbinum, Geranium dissctum, G.
molle, G. lucidium, Herb Robert is a well know plant G. robertianum,
Geranium purpureum, and I have probably missed a few!
Ones that are worth having in the garden are Granium bohemicum as much
for its black seeds as the cobalt blue flowers, the white forms of herb
robert and I am very fond of Geranium rotundifolium not for the flowers
but when the plant has flowered the whole thing goes fiery red.
