Plants beginning with 'G'

Geranium himalayense 'Plenum' --'Birch's Double' -- Lilac-blue double flowers adorn this spreading hardy Geranium that will fill in spaces between larger plants. Leaves are 3-4" wide, deeply lobed, and turn red in fall. Hardy to zones 5-9 and needs some afternoon shade above zone 7.

Geranium sanguineum -- Bloody Cranesbill -- is a lovely species selection from northeastern Austria. These days when the thought of species extinction in plants comes to mind, a picture of the splendid rainforests of the world fills the brain. However, plants are also taking a real beating in the industrialized areas of the world. If you would ever witness a natural stand of G. sanguineum in bloom, I am certain you would not be able to understand how anyone could put a factory on top of one without even a second thought. This is what's happening, however, and only a handful are left in their native habitat. Growing to 12-14" tall, with extremely cut leaves (the lobes running almost to the base of each leaf). Large, single, purple flowers, each on its own stem, add to the overall outstanding beauty of this plant. Hardy in all but the coldest zones or under concrete, zones 4-8.

Gladiolus callianthus 'Murieliae' syn. Acidanthera bicolor 'Murieliae'-- Peacock Lily -- This shows how confusing names can be: whether it's a Glad or its own separate genus, it certainly isn't a lily. What it is is a distinctive plant with purple-throated white flowers that have been described as "gently perfumed skydiving swans". The flowers appear on 2' stems sequentially, making for a month of blossoms.

Goodyera pubescens is the eastern US version of Rattlesnake Plantain. The leaves are slightly smaller, more rounded, a bit lighter in color, and not wavy. The variegation is perhaps a bit more subtle because the lighter leaf color offers less contrast. Grows throughout much of the eastern US and southern Canada. Zone 5.

Gunnera prorepens-- Creeping Gunnera -- Another small, groundcover-type plant with leaves only an inch long, this one from New Zealand. The leaves are deep bronzy grey-green and slightly furry. In midsummer, 3" spikes of red berries adorn specimens planted in the right spot, which would be a boggy area protected from hot sun. A carpet of this plant underneath one of the enormous species is both attractive and interesting. Zone 7.
