Compared to older hardy geranium varieties, ‘Boom Chocolatta’ offers a more vigorous growth habit and refined form, making it a standout in your garden landscape. Its medium growth rate and upright shape (24–26" tall, 28–30" wide) make it a versatile choice for borders, mass plantings, or mixed beds.
