Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Clear purple flowers with cranberry veining and blooms that are carried a few inches above the plants make this perennial cranesbill a choice selection. Especially pretty, the way the buds drape towards the ground until they are ready to open and then reach for the sky. Bonus - these flowers attract butterflies. Kashmir Purple matures to 15-20" tall and about the same width.
