Plants: Geranium cinereum 'Ballerina' - Hardy Geranium

Hardy Geranium cinereum 'Ballerina' Family: Geraniaceae Origin: The species is native to the central Pyrenees. Award-winning compact variety with slightly ruffled, cupped flowers. The iced-pink, heart-shaped petals are intricately patterned with very dark-maroon veining which converges into an eye. Small gray-green foliage is full and deeply-lobed, curling a little.

Geraniums are trouble free plants. They prefer sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Plant in the front of the border or in a well-drained rockgarden. Excellent weed-screening groundcover. Good container plants.
