Re: spring/fall bloom/ Geranium Chatto
Hello Dean,
I am a big fan of hardy geraniums for shade and finally obtained the Geranium
maculatum chatto for my nursery. Could you please go into more detail on color of
bloom, foliage. Bloom period is just after the species and stays in bloom all
summer? For real? That is going to be one fine geranium for the woodland garden.
Also finally obtained the G. m. albiflorum. There are quite a few forms of
this geranium out there, but hard to locate. One of the forms I have seen
mentioned only one year in a single catalog and never again since. Guess that is
what makes collecting fun....
