Susan, this is one of my favourite geraniums . Even though it doesn't
produce as many flowers as most of the others I grow, they are very
appealing with their narrow deep pink petals and white centres .There is a
photograph in vol 2 of Pan Perennials ( Random House in US) where it states
that the plant has been known since before 1914. G.'Sherwood' has similar
flowers but in a pale pink with a white eye.Although not as eyecatching ,
this plant is much more floriferous with me.Neither sets much seed and I
have disposed of the little I had this year; if you don't get any, I will
save you some next year.
