A great fall-blooming Geranium from Intrinsic Perennial Gardens.? Magenta and pink bicolor flowers top the large clumps of pale green foliage starting in September.? Great red fall color starts in October.
An Intrinsic Introduction! A unique geranium since it begins to flower in September. Large clumps of pale green foliage reach 2' + wide and 18" + tall. Nice en mass or planted where it can weave between other plants. Perfect with Eragrostis spectabilis. Magenta and pink bicolor flowers dance along the foliage, which can have nice red highlights in October adding to its seasonal interest. Full sun to light shade, well drained soil.
