Geranium x monacense

Description

Flowers: April-May & September.  Plant in part or full shade.  HxS 45x60cm

A lovely shade cranesbill, a cross hybrid between Geranium phaeum x Geranium reflexum.  You know winter is over when you see the leaves appear!  They are pale yellowy-green in spring, with lovely brown mottling.  The flowers are reflexed and dark purple-brown in colour, both early and late if cut back.  This is easy to grow, semi-evergreen and pest and disease resistant.  It also performs well in dry shade once established.  Organically grown in peat free compost.

Care & Maintenance.

Remove the old foliage in early spring.  This is also the best time to propagate the plant by careful division of the rhizome.
