Description
Geranium Patricia ('Brempat')
Height x Spread: 75cm x 50cm
'Patricia' produces an abundance of large magenta pink saucer-shaped flowers with dark reddish purple centres and veins over mid-green deeply cut foliage. An added bonus to its long and floriferous summer flowering period is its amazing autumn show, when its leaves turn all shades of red.
A great plant for impact in the middle of a border, it looks amazing with lime green and orange. This easy, low maintenance plant will benefit from a trim midsummer to remove faded flowers and foliage, encouraging further blooms. Much beloved by bees and butterflies. An undemanding Geranium, it will grow in any reasonably fertile soil that is not waterlogged in the sun or part shade
