Sticky geranium is a classy little number that provides a tough of elegance to any sunny or partly shady spot. Fancy divided leaves turn bright red in the fall, so even when it's not blooming there is something to look at. Give one a little extra water in a sunny spot for an extra large showpiece-type specimen!
