One of the loveliest hardy Geraniums for the garden & sadly, hard to find. ‘Mrs. Kendall Clark’ bears good sized, soft lavender blue flowers with white veining above her dark green foliage. To 2’ tall & 30” spread, the bloom season is quite long - from April thru June. An excellent filler for a blue & apricot garden & is beautiful planted with peach colored roses. Best planted against shrubs, bushes or roses, as it likes to lean against other plants. Or cut back after bloom to encourage a new, tight mound of foliage. Rich soil is best.
