Product description
Geranium Max Frei is a compact, reliable perennial that earns its place in the garden with tidy growth and a long season of bright colour. It forms a neat, rounded mound of finely cut foliage that stays attractive from spring onwards, creating a clean, low backdrop that works well in borders, beds, and containers. Through summer, it produces a generous display of purple-pink flowers that sit just above the leaves, adding a clear pop of colour without overwhelming the space.
This is a straightforward, easy-care plant that settles quickly and performs well in sun or partial shade. Once established, it needs very little attention and keeps its shape naturally, making it a great choice for low-maintenance planting schemes. Its dense, ground hugging habit helps reduce weeding and fills gaps neatly, giving borders a more finished look. Whether used along a path, at the front of a mixed border, or in a pot on the patio, this Cranesbill variety brings dependable colour and a well-kept appearance throughout the season.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Trim Cranesbill lightly after the first flush of flowers to encourage a fresh wave of blooms and keep the plant looking neat.
How to Water
Cranesbill prefers consistent moisture while it’s settling in, so water it well after planting and keep the soil lightly damp for the first few weeks. Once established, it’s generally low‑maintenance and only needs watering during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry slightly between each soak.
How to Plant
Choose a spot with well‑drained soil, dig a hole slightly wider than the rootball, and set the Cranesbill plant in so the crown sits level with the soil surface. Backfill, firm gently, and water well to help it establish.
