Geranium pyrenaicum


Geranium pyrenaicum (Geranium pyrenaicum)

Now this is a handy Geranium to have in the garden.
It is a bit lax in habit, but it sprawls about nicely. Best of all - It seeds well.

Now, various sources suggest that this is -
'G. pyrenaicum 'Summer Snow'.

But, there is a problem here. I bought, many years ago -
G. pyrenaicum 'Bill Wallis'
which has purple flowers, and within that first year we started getting seedlings coming through with white flowers. They have continued this way throughout. Bill Wallis is supposed to come true from seed...

I have never purchased Summer Snow. But I am happy to accept what the garden gives.

A kind Goyer sent me this a couple of years ago, and now, every year, the seedlings pop up, which I really enjoy as they make such useful and pretty fillers, especially under rose shrubs, but anywhere really!
