Geranium sanguineum Elke and phaeum Raven

Geranium sanguineum Elke

Each vibrant purple pink petal is delicately outlined with white, accentuating the deep purple veins.  Flowering throughout the summer there is added interest as the foliage turns red in the autumn.  Drought tolerant, trouble free and resistant to deer and rabbits.  Prefers well drained soil in sun or part shade.  Height 20cm (8”).  Spread 45cm (18”).  Hardy perennial.  

Geranium phaeum Raven  NEW

Geranium are commonly known as Cranesbill, though this one is more likely to be from the crow family.  Aptly named because of the very dark blue purple, almost black blooms, reminiscent of the birds’ feathers, that smother the foliage from May to July.  At the top of Harriet’s wish list.  Prefers sun or part shade in well drained soil.  Height & spread 45cm (18”).  Hardy perennial.
