Geranium phaeum 'Samobor'

Description: 

A versatile and attractive Geranium that will grow almost anywhere. Useful for adding height at the back or a dry or damp shady border or equally happy in sun. Deep purple flowers appear in spring on tall stems above a mound of large leaves which have an attractive purple blotched pattern to match the flowers. A great plant for suppressing weeds, perfect for a woodland or cottage style garden.
