Another cranesbill, similar to many others we grow. This one is a hybrid of G. endressii and G. versicolor. Its pink flowers are patterned with darker veins. In our garden, it doesn't grow taller than 18" - so it makes a good front-of-the-border plant for our rambunctious back yard island.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. Read about all the cranesbills in our garden on my geraniums page About my plant portraits

I'm particularly interested in Okey Dokey, Carol, Patricia, and Clarence Druce. Thanks. I'm sorry – I don't provide referrals to plant sources, since I have no reason to recommend any one source. |
