(G.gracile x G.ibericum) [Alan Bremner's Clone] Clumping selection that bears loads of large lavender-pink (almost 2"), veined flowers. Re-blooms if trimmed back after first flush of flowers and withstands droughts.
We have grown Geranium 'Sirak' for over a decade and are more impressed each year. This superb hybrid of Geranium gracile and Geranium ibericum occurred in the garden of German plantsman, Hans Simon. The vigorous 2' wide clumper is topped in May and June (NC) with an abundance of 5-petaled lavender pink flowers, each highlighted by a white central blotch. The only question remains, who is Sirak?
