Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very interesting garnet markings on the foliage make this a very worthwhile plant to grow even if it didn't have lovely pink and white flowers. Quick to form a nice clump and happy in full sun to part shade.

A clumping, mound forming, semi-evergreen perennial. The pale, silvery pink, saucer shaped flowers, are held above a dense mound of foliage, throughout Spring and Summer. The centre of each deeply divided leaf is irregularly splashed with wine red, making this a very attractive foliage plant to boot.One of the first of the coloured leaf Geraniums (the latest trend in breeding) to reach Australia, with hopefully many more to follow.
