Large, circular, pure white flowers (4.5cm, 2in). That is the petal overlap to give a bold effect with pleasantly undulating edges. The centres are pale, the anthers inconspicuous, but the many bee lines are picked out in deep papal purple creating the ghost of blush centre. The outer third remains pure white. A lovely thing, a bit like G.'Kashmir White' on steroids. Collected by Derrick Cook in 1984 in Narang province, Nepal. 30-45cm. Mature leaves are very large. Introduced by National collection holder Andrew Norton.Links

Something new and quite remarkable in the Geranium world, especially amongst the nodosum types. 1 inch wide rich purple petals, each with a distinct pale lilac edge, are overlaid with a shimmering indigo lustre and enhanced with 3 strong magenta pink veins. The orange style and lilac anthers complete the effect. Typical Geranium nodosum foliage (colouring well in Autumn) and very long flowering. Tolerant of shade, including very dry shade. We've lost count of how many times we have told people 'No, you can't buy my stock plant !' . Bred by Jenny Spiller of Elworthy Cottage.Links

Don't be confused by the name of this Geranium, it is named after a house, not one of it's characteristics. The flowers are some of the darkest of the group, being a rich pinky purple at the centre fading out towards pink at the edge with a white edge. Strong bee lines complete the design. Not quite as striking as Blueberry Ice, but still very nice indeed. Good for growing in dry shady situations where many plants would struggle. Raised by repeated selection of seedling forms by Lionel Bacon, past President of the Alpine Garden Society. Named after his garden.

A really unusual uniquely double flowered phaeum. A showy double row of bright plummy purple petals and in the centre the stamens appear to have been transformed into strange petaloid structures ina alimey-green to fascinating effect. A plant for partial shade wherethe slightly blotched fresh green leaves make an early foil for other spring flowers. Flowering in late April to May to about 75cm. This wonderful find was a chance seedling in the garden of Lynne Edwards in 2013. She named it after her beloved father and lifelong botanical & gardening mentor who had ghiven here her original phaeum. Not so good for insects due to its lack of stamens. fusion_separator style_type="single solid" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" sep_color="" top_margin="" bottom_margin="" border_size="" icon="" icon_circle="" icon_circle_color="" width="" alignment="center"][/fusion_separator]Links

This is one of those plants whose flowers warrant the closest of inspection as they posses the sort of intricate beauty that can easily get overlooked amongst some of their more brash cousins but which nevertheless is as exquisite as they come. Each flower is a translucent lavender-white shaded to the edges and picked out lavender in the veins. Where the petals overlap the colour is stronger and from the white eye protrude a green style and pink anthers. Typical green G.phaeum foliage with small but distinct chocolate spots.

A really nice very dark-leaved G.pratense with white flowers heavily rayed in lavender. The flowers aren't startling white as you find in say a G.sanguineum Album, largely owing to the influence of the veins, an influence that can be quite pronounced at some times of day. The handsome deeply divided foliage is dark purple on dark purple stems in a shortish 30cm mound. Best in full sun, but not too dry, or in more shade if you don't mind the foliage developing more green. like all G,pratense it is prone to mildew after flowering and is best trimmed then to rejuvenate. 35cm high by 45cm wide. Arose from the original batch of Victor Reiter seed grown by Robin Moss. fusion_separator style_type="single solid" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" sep_color="" top_margin="" bottom_margin="" border_size="" icon="" icon_circle="" icon_circle_color="" width="" alignment="center"][/fusion_separator]Links

Geranium pratense Victor Reiter Strain. Stunning new cultivar with leaves of a striking purple-black above which deep purple saucer shaped blooms are proudly displayed. Place in a prominent position where the unusual many fingered leaves will always provoke comment. Not as high as some of the meadow cranesbills. Leaves become greener as the year progresses or if they are in too much shade. Best in sun. to 60cm. There was a profusion of cultivars produced following the original Californian introduction of G.'Vicor Reiter' which has led to some muddling and confusion in the names of the purple leaved strains, some of which are seed raised, and some micropropagated.

I think this is a slow burner rather than a red hot Latin lover, but it's certainly a Geum to fall in love with. Geum 'Flames of Passion' is relatively short and neat at a foot high. The flowers are 2cm across and look down in a rather coy fashion. They are strawberry pink, slightly ruffled with 3 rows of petals and a charming yellow centre with a green eye. The dark maroon buds and stems round off the effect nicely. So if you are feeling coy yourself, perhaps it's time to give passion a try. Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks
