Ive now got another one called "Pinwheel" and very nice it is too..deeper lavender with little spots on each petal..looks just like a wheel!

sounds wonderful i will look out for it. I have six now, no more until next year, I am trying to not buy any plants this season and just grow from seed, which I love doing,I have not yet tried geraniums as I have heard they can be tricky, but then some of them self seed around the garden, so I will have to investigate further, happy gardening.
