There are many forms of G. sanguineum I like but in my garden two
favourites really stand out:-

G. sanguineum 'Cedric Morris' has magenta-pink flowers, very large for
such a small plant.  This being originally discovered in Wales.

G. sanguineum var. striatum (formerly G. s.lancastriense)
Having large bright rose-pink flowers with delicate markings.  Found on
Walney Island in Lancashire.
