Geranium phaeum ‘Samobor’

Geranium phaeum ‘Samobor’ is shade tolerant cranesbill with burgundy marked leaves and small deep purple flowers.

‘Samobor’ is a selection of the useful shade tolerant Geranium phaeum that sports large burgundy patches on the dissected, maple-like leaves that echo nicely the deep purple of the small, numerous flowers that are held nicely above the foliage. Good in full sun to deep shade, this problem-solver will even tolerate being under trees if given some moisture.
