Geranium phaeum ‘Margaret Wilson’


Mourning Widow Cranesbill

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.229.200


The Border selections of Cranesbill Geranium are valuable fillers for colour in the perennial garden. This variety forms a mound of deeply-cut green foliage, handsomely streaked in creamy yellow. Plants need to be cut back after blooming to encourage fresh new foliage. Prefers moist shady sites but tolerates drier areas well. Excellent choice for a woodland garden. Clumps are easily divided in spring or early fall.
