Cranesbill Dreamland

A very pretty, long-flowering cranesbill, Geranium Dreamland is a compact, clump-forming herbaceous perennial with a low, spreading habit, making good ground-cover. The rounded, lobed leaves are downy and deep grey-green, a lovely foil for the flowers, which are borne from May to August. The cupped flowers, carried on short, branching stems, are a beautiful soft pink, with a white eye and deeper pink veins; they are very good for pollinators. Cranesbill Dreamland is easy to grow, and very hardy, having been bred in the Orkneys.
