Geranium oxonianum 'Phoebe Noble'
Hot lipstick-pink flowers appear throughout summer on this vigorous selection made by the late Phoebe Noble. Only suitable as groundcover in wild corners of garden where it can spread with short runners as well as by seed. The vibrant colour provides strong impact.
More vigorous than most oxonianum forms requiring space to spread. The continuous flowering and vigorous growth make it suitable for challenging sites. The hot pink colour is more intense than typical selections. Best in naturalistic areas where spreading is acceptable.
