These are great. I just bought some of these, but no idea what colour. They don't put all the details on in Hungary.

This is a lovely Geranium. It is called Geranium pratense ' Splish Splash'. No two flowers are ever the same.

The RHS send out a small sheet with their monthly magazine, and I got this from them. I bought three other hardy Geraniums last month and they arrived in a really bad way - so they've sent me another pack. I hope they take OK. One is called 'Sweet Heidi' and one is 'Starman' - can't remember the other. They are in the greenhouse at the moment.
