COMMING SOON!

Geraniaceae: a clump-forming perennial found in calcareous grassland and limestone pavement. The flowers are 2-3cm across and are a deep reddish-purple, blooming from May-June. The leaves are deeply divided. Locally common in Britain, except South East of England. Native to most of Europe and temperate Asia.

GROWING INFORMATION:

Succeeds in any moderately fertile retentive soil in a sunny position, but happier in a calcareous soil. Sow seeds spring in a cold frame or greenhouse. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer.

I couldn’t find a reference to any medical or edible uses to this plant, but it a very pretty flower, and I have listed a number of wild native species of Geranium so why not include this on as well.
