Description
Geranium × oxonianum 'Walter's Gift'
Height x Spread: 45cm x 45cm
An abundance of mid-pink cup-shaped flowers sporting a network of purple pink veins, are carried over mounds of striking mid green foliage delicately blotched and finely edged with brown. Sought after for its unusual foliage, this is a floriferous and long flowering Geranium.
Low maintenance and versatile, try planting it up in containers for a terrace or adjacent to steps where it will gently tumble. It makes great ground cover, especially on slopes and banks where its striking foliage/flower combination can be appreciated en masse. Removal of faded stems and foliage will encourage fresh growth. Easy to grow, it thrives in any reasonably fertile soil which is not waterlogged, in a sunny or partially shaded site.
