Comments:
The ivy shaped leaf and the spreading habit of this species gives it its common name. Ivy leaf geraniums come with various colors of foliage and many variegations and flower colors from white to deep red and burgundy. They are used in ground beds in the landscaspe. Ivy-leaf geraniums are excellent container plants and are used in window boxes and in hanging baskets. They are treated as annuals where they would be subject to freezing temperatures.
