I didn't know you could get red cranesbill. Where have you seen them?

Googled it and then looked at images

What's the full botanical name, including varietal name, of the one you've seen? I've just googled and I can't find a red flowered one anywhere. So far as I know, the closest to red is a deep pink, so I'd be interested to see a pic.

Unless you mean Geranium 'Purple Pillow' - the flowers are actually purplish pink rather than red, although they look red on this site (don't be fooled by it though, its a Parkers sales photo..)

and here, which shows it much closer to its real life colour

That was it Bamboo.Am grateful you posted or I could have been tempted.Looks red on my iPad.Thank you.

Yea, its meant to! And the parkers pic also looks like its got dark, purplish leaves - that'll be the filters they've used to make the flowers look red, because actually, the leaves are bluish green. If it looked like that in the flesh, I'd buy it, but it doesn't.

The Parkers example doesn't look red at all, on my monitor at least - it looks a deep purple-pink. Also, the description clearly says 'purple', so I have no idea why you would think it was red. I wish there WAS a red version (I got all excited when I saw your post!), as it would look fab in my front garden scheme!
