Geranium cinereum Purple Pillow


Dwarf Cranesbill

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.230.970


(='Ravpil') The hardy Cranesbill Geraniums include a number of varieties best suited to the rock garden or for edging, in well-drained sunny sites. This selection forms a dense, low mat of grey-green leaves, with bright magenta-purple flowers resting on the trailing stems in late spring, then on and off through the summer. Nice also in alpine troughs or mixed containers. Clip plants lightly after flowering is over, to promote bushy growth from the middle. Discovered and introduced by Bridgemere Nurseries in the United Kingdom. USPP#12829, CPBR#2399: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
