A nice variation on this shade loving Geranium. The new leaves are attractively mottled with yellow as they emerge, gradually fading as they age to green. The usual dark purple flowers in April and May add to the attraction. Easy and reliable this plant is good in sun or shade and is excellent for the woodland garden. height 30cm (12")
