Geranium × oxonianum 'Rose Clair'
cranesbill
This lovely geranium is extremely vigorous and long flowering. It soon forms hummocks of distinctly veined, deeply divided semi-evergreen foliage, smothered with funnel shaped, clear-pink flowers from May to October. Given space, 'Rose Clair' is a useful groundcover and filler for a long-interest cottage garden or herbaceous border. It self-seeds freely, too.

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
