  • Notes

These is a large group of perennial geranium, known for its generally hummock-mound forming habits, its cup-shaped flowers that bloom late spring to early summer, and its deeply-divided green foliage. There are many cultivars available; some are listed within this database, but its hard to include them all - check the plant tag for details of characteristics.
