Geranium pratense is the meadow cranesbill and its flowers are held above large mounds of handsome leaves. The family boasts three double-flowered forms. This double white form is a loose double with contrasting green flower calyces and bright green foliage. It is rarely available but is mentioned in Elizabethan herbals so I suppose we can call it a native! We now have a good supply and our plants have a pink halo which develops at the centre as the flower fades. Excellent in the mixed border in a slightly moist soil. |
