Has anyone lost a Geranium Rozanne this winter?

  Thanks for all the advice. It's good to know it's a clumping kind. I've planted it in places where it's got plenty to space to swallow anything!

  Like Ben, I was encouraged to go searching.  There it was barely showing under the snowdrop leaves.
  
  Rozeanne's job is to fight for the light and then cover anything dull in  it's flowering season.

  I'm a little late to the party but thought I would share my Geranium Rozanne/Orion setup. I planted 3 Rozanne specimens in that bed 9 years ago and have been sllightly disappointed in their usually meagre flowering. In 2016 I planted 150 Scilla forbesii (ex Chionodoxa) bulbs all around those 3 Rozanne specimens. They have grown and extended very well over the years! In 2021 I wanted to put more Rozanne in there, but couldn't find any, so settled for 2 G. Orion.

  The combination of Geraniums and Scilla works quite well. The timing is almost perfect. On this pic taken today the Scilla are almost finished (and beaten down by the winds) and the Geraniums are starting to show.
