Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Grown for its attractive dark splotched foliage and curious dark purple blossoms. Geranium x monacense is a hybrid cross between G. phaeum and G. reflexum, and according to Digging Dog Nursery from whom we purchased this plant years ago, it was named after Spotty Muldoon, a British radio show character played by the late Peter Sellers. It grows in a spreading mound to 18" tall and 24" wide.
