A sport of the ever-popular Rozanne, this new geranium is bound to be popular. Its flowers are a soft lilac-pink, while the foliage they rise above is subtly mottled yellowish green. Less vigorous, but no less hardy than its parent, this one is better for lining the edges of a path, or being at the front of the border as it won't stray too far.
