Geranium sanguineum var. Striatum
Incredibly pretty, pale pink, cup shaped flowers cover the foliage of Geranium sanguineum Striatum in this spreading herbaceous perennial. Flowering continuously during summer, the pale flowers are accented with darker veining, forming a contrast against the mat of dark green leaves. It makes a fantastic ground cover, wonderful at suppressing weeds, or can be used as part of a cottage garden border.
- Pot Size: 2L
- Height and Spread: 25cm (9in) x 30cm (11in) (eventual)
