Insights
This Geranium is part of a series bred by the Netherlandish breeder Marco van Hoort who created it by crossbreeding the Ashy Geranium (Geranium cinereum), with its attractive grey/green leaves (hence ‘Ashy’). With such a pedigree, Geranium Jolly Jewel Purple has attractive foliage and in-bred robustness.
