I bought this geranium from a plant fair at Kingston Maurward near Dorchester about 15 years ago. I have never seen it anywhere else or in plant books. It is very hardy, grows to around 30-60cm in height and can spread to around a metre in diameter if left unchecked. It can be divided and I now have several clumps around my own garden and have given clumps of it to other people. The flower is quite unusual and is a magenta pink. It can suffer a bit in very hot weather but does recover and occasionally will get a powdery mildew. Cutting it back seems to revive it. It flowers for most of the summer.
