Geranium x riversleaianum ‘Mavis Simpson’ at Digging Dog
Cranesbill
We’re talking about hardy Geraniums, not the better-known, anything-but-subtle Pelargoniums. True Geraniums are sturdy yet refined, with five-petaled flowers borne on dainty stems close to the palmately-divided leaves.
Their spectrum of colors, from cool to electric, is rivaled only by their ability to create soft mounds and flowing carpets of lush foliage in ordinary garden soil. We plant a succession of varieties to always have some in bloom from spring to fall. Our selections are easily grown and will rebloom after flowering if lightly trimmed. Most die back in winter. Geranium x riversleaianum ‘Mavis Simpson’
‘Mavis Simpson’ has pale, satiny pink flowers borne on trailing stems covering a choice mounding carpet of soft gray-green. For greatest impact, plant it on 12 in. centers. This Geranium looks just right with Penstemon ‘Raven’, and Allium sphaerocephalon.
Blooms May–October. Size: 8" high x 2-1/2' wide; hardy to zone 7. Geranium x riversleaianum ‘Mavis Simpson’ (p-0081) Each $7.00
