Geranium phaeum ‘Alec’s Pink’

Description

Flowers: April-June & September.  Plant in part or full shade.  HxS 45x45cm

I saw this at Plantarium 2014 in Holland and was impressed with the pink colour break in this shade geranium species.  The true plant is a good clear pink with a white centre, held on tall stems above the leaves. It prefers shade but will grow in the open if the soil is moist enough, but responds best to a woodsy humus soil.  Found in Croatia by and named for Alec Anderson in 2000. Repeat flowering.

Care & Maintenance.

Cut to the ground in late autumn or early spring.  Divide in spring.  Rabbit, Deer, slug and snail proof!
