The Trevor Bath and Joy Jones book referred to by Marge Talt says 30"
for 'Patricia'. They say it's a cross between G. psilostemon and G
endressii and call it a "magnificent geranium ... canopy of very
large leaves ... large flowers (1.5") are bright magenta with a dark
star-shaped eye ...flowers over a long period from early to late
summer". Sounds good!
