thanks, it is a bit different is'nt it, i bought this one off ebay last year, i had never seen it growing until now, and it is a lovely plant, would defo recommend it if you need a good gap filler - but i suspect it is going to be a bit of a thug, so you never know i might even be offering some free cuttings/root divisions in the near future!

Nice photo. I love this geranium too. They bloom heavily and for a long time if regularly deadheaded, and blooms in dry shade, not many plants out there that will produce for you under these conditions. It's a great addition to anyone's shade garden.!

Just put in this Spring (2007) this white flowering perennial geranium is growing into a golden leafed spirea and beside a large leafed hosta. It seems quite happy rambing its way between the other plants, holding its flower heads above the others' leaves.
