Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the darkest and most intensely colored hardy geraniums, 'Perfect Storm' offers hard-to-find black accents for the sunny to partly shaded garden. Each glossy magenta-pink bloom boasts a large, smouldering black centre and black to dark violet veins. Set against the backdrop of large, softly lobed, pale gray-green foliage, the blooms stand out even more dramatically. The abundant blooms occur over a long season that spans the whole summer.
