Geranium maculatum ‘Elizabeth Ann’
Cranesbill Geranium |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.230.630
This is a compact Cranesbill, forming a bushy mound of unusual coffee-coloured leaves, a nice contrast to the small soft-pink cup-shaped flowers in late spring. Trim plants back immediately after blooming and they may repeat in mid summer. Nice for edging the border front or in the woodland. A good choice also for mixed container or tubs, providing a long season of foliage interest. USPP#11252: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
