It is not quite as hardy as the other geraniums and it is a good idea to cover it in Winter or take a few cuttings which seem to root easily. This is a good plant to grow in a rock garden or trough as it flowers throughout the summer. I promise to show a better photograph when next it blooms. The leaves are broadly divided and most attractive. This plant likes moist soil and I find it grows quite well in a north facing bed.
Propagation is by division or seed but the latter can be variable.
This has the advantage of enjoying deep dry shade. It is a strong growing plant with light green leaves and dark purple flowers. I got this geranium a few months ago and am delighted with it. It trails over the ground and here is seen around a log of wood. The flower is so dainty.
