Geranium 'Mavis Simpson'

How to grow Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' in NZ

Grow Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well drained soil. It is adaptable to many NZ garden conditions but performs best where the soil retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Dig in compost before planting, water thoroughly, and keep the soil evenly moist during the first growing season while roots establish. A position with morning sun and some protection from harsh afternoon heat suits warmer areas. Good airflow and regular moisture will encourage healthy foliage, a spreading habit, and a long display of soft pink flowers.

Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' care tips

Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' is easy to care for and benefits from watering during extended dry periods, especially in sunny positions. Feed in spring with compost or a balanced fertiliser to support fresh foliage and flowering. Remove faded flowers and trim back tired stems after the main flowering flush to encourage neat new growth and a further display. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds, keeping it clear of the crown. Divide large clumps every few years in autumn or early spring to refresh plants and extend the planting.

Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' size, spacing, and growth rate

Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' generally grows about 40 cm to 50 cm tall and can spread 80 cm to 1 m wide, creating a generous low mound of foliage and flowers. Space plants around 60 cm to 80 cm apart for ground cover planting, allowing room for stems to spread naturally. Growth is moderate to fast in suitable conditions, with plants quickly filling gaps in borders. Its spreading habit makes it especially useful for softening hard edges. Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' is a practical size for front borders, slopes, walls, and mixed perennial beds.
