GERANIUM - Sanguineum striatum
Description:
This beautiful native geranium is only found in the wild on Walney Island off the Cumbrian coast where it thrives in well drained sandy soils. The large soft pink flowers have a crimson vein and are held clear of the heavily dissected dark green leaves. One of the loveliest geraniums, flowering over a long season. Tolerant of drought once established it is quite used to dry or shallow soils, preferring a well drained location and yet grows superbly in our damp climate. Good for the front of a border, on a large rockery or on banks. Easy maintenance free habit, pest and disease resistant.
