Question: Duane Hagadone, of course, has put geraniums on the map here in Coeur d'Alene, with all the ones he orders planted at his Coeur d'Alene Resort. I've come to enjoy the look and now plant 12-15 geraniums in my yard each year, too. How about you? Are you a geranium aficinado? Or do you prefer some other annual for your summer color?
