Lovely and delicate. I almost had my own this weekend but the nursery wouldn't let me take them so small. (I think I wasn't supposed to know what I was looking at in the plug trays in the back)......lol. :-) I got a 'those are the perrenials' ......lol.

Oh BB - I am still laughing at your comment!
Greenthumb - shame you couldn't sneak a little one out! Our GC does sell small pots of plants at very good prices - much better value than waiting for a large pot! They soon catch up, too.

I like the little ones. Better price and less shock moving home as well.

Was going round a garden centre today and they had lots of Biokovo and they had a pinkish-white flower. This geranium resembled Westray. There are now so many hardy geraniums around that naming them is becoming a nightmare.

That's why I said 'I think'!!!
I have another very similar one, with deeper pink flowers - just opening its buds. Oh dear - what's that one called???

Maybe it's Karmina. Maybe !!

I have an RHS Geranium book - I shall check it out tomorrow.

It is really very dainty with its papery looking leaves!

I shall be looking for this one too. Does it like shade?
9 Apr, 2011
Yes. The G. macrorrhizums are very good in shade. :-) Even dry shade!
