Typical delicate pink geranium flowers in the spring, but the foliage is a distinctively different dark chocolate brown to a foot or so tall and wide. Not picky about growing conditions, however the dark foliage won't show up well against dark brown mulch, so best planted closely with green or variegated plants to show it off. Zone 3
