Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7-10 White flowers
This hardy selection has been tested to 0º F. Its dark green somewhat glossy (especially young leaves) remain evergreen, so it is very useful as a structural shrub for smaller gardens. The real delight, of course, comes from late spring throughout the summer when the white flowers perfume the air. The two-inch flowers with 5-to-6 petals nestle at the tip of the stems.  Late spring through summer. bloom   3-4 ft. x 3 ft.

More

172-049     Geranium 'Ann Folkard'       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5-9 Magenta/Black flowers
This mounding and trailing geranium has large deeply divided golden to chartreuse foliage. The flower stems bear 1- to 1 1/2-inch flowers of dusty magenta with black centers.

172-073     Geranium 'Anne Thomson'       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 4-9 Magenta/Black Eye flowers

Caucasus. This lovely selection of the species is distinguished by the color of its flowers which is violet as opposed to the more common white. Otherwise, it shares with the species the distinctive rounded lobes of the leaves as well as their somewhat pebbled upper surfaces. The flowers are gappy but that does not detract from their beauty.
