Geranium x oxonianum ‘Walter’s Gift’ Family: Geraniaceae Common name: cranesbill |
|
Description: An herbaceous perennial with a broad, mounding habit. Scalloped-edged shiny green, lobed leaves are flushed with a dark reddish suffusion spreading out from the centre. Small, pale pink flowers with a network of deep magenta veins appear in spring.
Special Notes: A vigorous hybrid; a cross between G.eraniumendressii and Geranium versicolor. Very similar to Geranium x oxonianum ‘Katherine Adele’. Named after the former home of Mary Ramsdale in Essex, England where this seedling was found. Cut back severely after flowering to tidy up; fresh new leaves will appear and perhaps a second flush of blooms. Very easy care. Relatively pest and disease free. Drought tolerant. Deer and rabbit resistant. Propagation by seed.
