About This Image

'Geranium Ballerina' Semi-evergreen, rosetted perennial with spreading flowering stems. H 6in, S 12in
Fully hardy, has cup-shaped flowers, pale pink strongly veined with purple, or pure white, on lax stems in late spring and summer. basal leaves are rounded, deeply divided, soft and grey-green.
Grows nicely as a ground cover in borders, cottage gardens, woodland gardens and rockeries.

These Geraniums or Crane's Bill, should not be confused with the half-hardy Pelargonium which is popularly referred to as 'geranium'.

Enjoy:)

Many thanks to Gav, Carol, Talsi and Jas for your very kind comments on this image. Jas, it's one of the ones we put into the pub garden a couple of years ago. I have managed to find another for my new garden at home, just hope it grows as well. Chriss:)
