Geranium renardii  'Walter Ingwersen' (Geranium renardii)

Very distinctive because of its grey-green leaves.

is this a rockery geranium spritz? Im asking because we live near a nursery with the same name that specialises in alpines

No - it isn't miniature and it is growing happily in the flowerbed and a border!

I was wondering about the Ingwersen name, because I have another geranium - G. macrorrhizum 'Ingwersen's Variety'....

Sbg - is it the usual way of taking cuttings from it - into gritty compost? I'll have a go.

ooohhh thanks .....but what is Sbg? or am i doing the Essex girl thing again lol

Sbg is Seaburngirl.... I hoped she might be kind and tell me how to root cuttings! She said it was easy from this one, after all!

I find a bit of stem that has gone brown papery/scaly cut it off. dip it into rooting powder and then into a 50:50 grit and compost mix. then gentle bottom heat and so far 90% success rate :o)
does that make sense Spritz? hope so.
