Double Jewel Geranium
Geranium pratense ‘Double Jewel’Double Jewel Geranium is an elegant flowering perennial prized for its fully double white blooms, compact habit, and refined cottage garden appearance. Blooming from late spring into summer, this hardy geranium produces masses of ruffled double flowers with soft lavender-pink centers that create a delicate layered effect above the foliage. The blooms resemble miniature roses or double anemones, giving the plant a uniquely romantic look in the landscape.
Its deeply divided green foliage forms a tidy mound beneath the flowers and remains attractive throughout the growing season. The compact upright habit makes Double Jewel especially useful for front borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds where its soft flower color can brighten surrounding plantings without overwhelming them.
Double Jewel Geranium typically reaches 12 to 18 inches tall and wide and is especially valued for its long bloom period and refined floral display. The flowers attract pollinators while also making charming additions to small cut-flower arrangements.
This perennial thrives in full sun to part sun with moist, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture during hot weather helps support continued flowering and healthy foliage. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage additional flowering and help maintain a neat appearance.
