Varieties with names and photos
There are many types of geraniums, both garden and indoor. They differ in flowering time, growing conditions, and height.
Types of geraniums by height:
- Short. The height of the plant is below 0.5 m. This includes ash, Dalmatian, large-rhizome, and Himalayan geraniums.
- Tall. Plants in height from 0.5 m. These types include: magnificent, flat-petaled, forest, red-brown, meadow, Georgian.
Geranium is divided into the following groups:
- Royal.
- Variegated.
- Succulent.
- Fragrant.
- Ampelous geranium.
- Zonal.
Let's take a closer look at some plant species.
The royal variety is distinguished by its size and brightness of colors. In addition, this plant is very fastidious in care, which confirms its name. The flowers come in different shades: from white to purple. The flower feels comfortable in a room with high humidity, but does not tolerate direct sunlight.
The average height of the bush is 60-80 cm. It blooms quite beautifully, but does not last long.
This variety got its name because its flowers resemble small tulips, and this is its main difference from other varieties of geraniums. The flower of this species does not exceed 1 cm in length. On 1 stem there is 1 inflorescence of approximately 50 flowers. The colors of the flowers vary: from light pink to burgundy. Usually the inside of the petals is darker than the outside. The leaves are shiny and hard to the touch. Plant height varies, 30-70 cm.
Indoor geranium is divided into types:
- ampelous (curly);
- bush (low).
The flower has a powerful stem approximately 60 cm high and dissected leaves. The inflorescences are located at the tips of the shoots and are characterized by an umbellate structure.
This variety is characterized by abundant flowering from early spring to mid-winter. The flowers of the plant come in different colors: red, yellow, white, etc.
This variety is very easy to care for and, as a result, is popular. This garden species has a well-developed rhizome. The leaves of the plant are covered with villi and have an aroma, due to which the plant got its name. The flowers are small, collected in white-pink umbels.
This perennial plant grows in countries with temperate climates in deciduous and coniferous forests, in meadows, and mountain river valleys. This species has a short root, a hard, strong stem, five-parted dense leaves and umbrella-shaped flowers. The species is known for its medicinal properties.
Blood red geranium
Red geranium has a fleshy and rather long root. The bush reaches a height of 10-50 cm, acquires an attractive lush shape up to 0.5 m wide. The stem is hard, densely leafy. With the arrival of autumn, the stems of the flower, as well as the leaves, become bright red, thereby justifying the name. The flowers consist of 5 petals, single or semi-double. Flowers range from light pink to red.
This ornamental plant is characterized by delicate and very beautiful flowers. There are both annual and perennial varieties. Garden flowers are popular in different countries. The flowers come in a variety of shades other than orange and yellow.
This plant has a hanging form. The plant got its name from the shape of its leaves, which resemble ivy leaves. They are hard to the touch. The variety is characterized by long, hanging branches. The bush can reach 1 m in length.
Geranium is magnificent
This variety is a hybrid garden bush, reaching a height of up to 50 cm. This plant begins to bloom at the beginning of summer. The flowers are lilac. In autumn the flowers turn wine red, orange and yellow. This species does not bear seeds and reproduces strictly vegetatively.
This species is distinguished by bright decorative leaves and flowers. There is a border along the edge of the leaves. This subshrub reaches a height of 0.8 m. Rosebud geranium is grown both at home and in gardens. The plant blooms throughout the summer. In autumn, the plant is dug up, trimmed and left in a cool place.
Pelargonium and geranium difference
Due to different genetic characteristics, these plants cannot be crossed with each other. Pelargonium comes from the southern countries, and geranium is a native of the north. For this reason, geranium can bloom at a temperature of +12 degrees, and pelargonium blooms only in greenhouse or apartment conditions. Pelargonium is usually grown in apartments, while geranium thrives even in gardens.
Proper care
In order for the plant to grow well, it is necessary to make a flower garden correctly, and weeds will not grow near the bushes. At the end of spring, it is recommended to weed the plant. In addition, in May it is necessary to loosen and fertilize the soil. Subsequent care consists of watering the bush.
Important! When the shoots begin to fade, they need to be cut off. Some species need to be tied up.
These flowers reproduce in the following ways:
- seeds;
- vegetatively.
The bush bears fruit well. Seeds from ripened fruits are spread throughout the entire territory, so collecting them is difficult. Seeds collected in August can be sown immediately and will form seedlings before the start of winter.
Important! Winter is considered the best time for planting.
The seedlings must first be planted in a special nursery. Formed bushes are planted in the flower garden. The simplest, easiest and most successful way of growing is propagation by dividing the bush. It is recommended to do this with the onset of spring or late summer.
Essential oil
From the leaves of perennial varieties, distilled with water steam, a colorless essential oil is made, the aroma of which resembles the aroma of a rose. This flower can cure depression, inflammation of the throat, nose and ears.
Essential oil is an excellent antidepressant and pain reliever.
- With its help, mental as well as physical activity increases.
- The oil can restore the skin after frostbite and burns.
- The oil is characterized by its ability to normalize blood pressure and blood circulation.
- It is used to treat neuritis and neuralgia.

Blood red geranium (Latin name Geranium sanguineum) is a plant that belongs to the genus Geranium, the Geraniaceae family, and is a perennial, herbaceous, flowering plant. Geranium has a long, thick and fleshy rhizome, from which during the flowering period a dense cluster of flowering plants is formed, similar to a bush, covered with red-carmine flowers.
The plant has a long growing season. The stem of geranium is highly branched from the base, can be either erect (up to 50-53 cm in height) or recumbent, covered with long pale hairs. The lower leaves and the base of the stems become reddish closer to autumn.
Geranium leaves overwinter, bright green, have petioles covered with hairs. The leaf blade is palmately divided, deeply divided into 5-7 lobes, linear-lanceolate in shape. The bottom of the leaf is also covered with hairs. Blood red geranium blooms with single regular five-petal flowers, blood red in color, with long pedicels.

Note
This old medicine recipe is said to be very effective, although from a scientific point of view geranium does not have properties that can cure infertility. I think the psychological attitude plays an important role here: couples drinking geranium infusion are so concerned about the appearance of an heir, so unsure of their abilities that they recklessly believe the healer’s advice. But the main thing is not the scientific basis of the recipe, but the fact that it really helps!

In folk medicine, blood-red geranium has long been used for uterine cancer. A well-known specialist in the field of herbal medicine, Andrei Zalomnikov, believes that for such a disease, the most effective system is to support official herbal therapy. This allows you to enhance the effect of treatment, prevent complications and relapses. His recommendations are as follows.
You will need: 1 tbsp. a spoonful of comfrey roots, blood-red geranium, saxifrage, wormwood, and bergenia.

Preparation and use: 2 tbsp. Pour spoons of the mixture with vodka and leave for 2 weeks in a warm, dark place. Take 1 teaspoon 3-4 times a day before meals.
For cancer
An even more detailed method of treating cancer with the participation of geranium was proposed by the famous Austrian healer Rudolf Breuss. It is believed that over more than 90 years of life, he healed about 45 thousand patients from different countries of the world, whom official medicine abandoned. Of course, each person’s body is individual and it is impossible to conduct thoughtless experiments on it. Therefore, I remind you once again: before you start using this or that treatment method, consult your doctor.
So, the Breuss method is as follows.
Fasting for 42 days. But fasting is not complete. Every day you need to drink 500 ml of a mixture of natural juices and 1 glass of herbal tea, changing its composition.
Medicinal juice

Kidney tea
