A hardy geranium question. In the past I have planted geranium macrorrhizum Ingwersen's variety

Middlesex, United Kingdom Gb

In the past I have planted geranium macrorrhizum Ingwersen's variety, Bevan's variety and Czakor . I now have lots of them all over the garden but unlabelled and they all look the same to me with cerise flowers and aromatic leaves. Can any clever person out there give me any clues as to how to distinguish between them and say which is which?

It is very probable that none of the seedlings are the original named varieties. They will all have crossed with each other so should be named Geranium macrorrhizum var. (var. = variety).

Thank you Bulbaholic. Also I planted lots of G macrorrhizum Spassart which has a whitish-pink flower but can only see two. I wonder of they have all reverted or crossed back to the original cerise too.
