Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Topping a tidy, low growing bluish grey-green mound of deeply lobed, attractive foliage, the enticing cup-shaped flowers are distinctively coloured in pink and accented by a close network of darker pink veins that converge towards a dark central eye. The bountiful blooms keep coming all summer long, and there's an autumn encore when leaves take on shades of purple, red or orange. Carefree.

A striking geranium with purple-pink flowers marked with magenta veins and centered purple. Sounds complicated; simply beautiful against the silver leaves of the species. Introduced by Blooms of Bressingham these are more compact than many hardy geraniums, to on 4-6" tall spreading to 2 ft wide. A prolific bloomer from spring to frost, it also does well in pots or hanging baskets. Good drainage is important in sun to part shade with at least occasional summer water. Evergreen in mild winters and frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 5.
