Geranium phaeum ‘Album’
Mourning Widow Cranesbill |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.230.460
The Border selections of Cranesbill Geranium are valuable fillers for colour in the perennial garden. This selection forms a mound of deeply-cut green foliage, bearing clusters of delicate white flowers. Plants need to be cut back after blooming to encourage fresh new foliage. Tolerates dry shade better than most. Excellent choice for a woodland garden. Clumps are easily divided in spring or early fall.
