GERANIUM ‘Elke’

Geranium ‘Elke’

Height x Spread: 30cm x 50cm

This cranesbill cultivar is known for the profusion of large flowers with mid-pink petals and pale edges, delicately threaded with dark pink veins, which appear above a mat of deeply cut dark green leaves.

Flowering its socks off all summer, in autumn the foliage then turns wonderful shades of red.  Gently creeping, it is perfect for the front of a cottage garden border, edging a path or in a gravel garden.  With time it will develop good drought tolerance. It will thrive in a free-draining soil in the full sun.
