Description
Geranium ibericum subsp. jubatum 'White Zigana'
Height x Spread: 30cm x 45cm
'White Zigana' bears sprays of large, white flowers with notched petals and purple veins over compact clumps of tactile, blue-green foliage. Collected in Turkey at the Zigana Pass as recently as 1998, this tough plant is a great addition to garden-worthy Geraniums. Its crop of early Summer flowers is followed by an autumnal treat, its foliage turns tawny orange.
A great container plant when combined with complimentary foliage plants, it looks equally fine at the front of a border where its foliage can gently spill over the edge. This Geranium thrives in a free draining soil with some richness in a sunny site, but can tolerate partial shade.
