    Geranium ‘Bob’s Blunder’ is a new, hardy perennial displaying pewter-bronze foliage and rounded pink and white flowers. Very floriferous plants bloom spring till frost. Good for groundcover. Meadow Cranesbill is a great companion plant for continuous color in containers, cottage or rock gardens. It is fairly adaptable to a variety of growing conditions, although it prefers moist, well-drained soil. It will tolerate periods of drought once established.
