Erodium × variabile ‘Charm’


Dwarf Heronsbill

USDA Zone: 7-9

Plant number: 1.204.060


A cute little dwarf cousin to the Cranesbill Geranium, this forms a very low clump of tiny, filigreed green leaves. Starry little flowers appear from late spring through to the fall, very pale pink with darker streaks and veins. In colder regions, this may be wintered in a pot indoors, then brought back outside for the summer. Gorgeous in the rock garden or alpine trough, this is one of the few rock garden plants that flowers the entire season long. Easily divided in early spring. Must have excellent drainage, particularly in wet winter regions.
