Geranium 'Patricia'
A fantastic cranesbill with superb colour similar to Geranium psilostemon, which is one of its parents, but shorter in stature, much longer blooming, and sterile. The leaves turn orange and red in autumn. Beautiful with blues, grays, anything really. The magenta flowers have dark eyes.
RHS Award of Garden Merit and Great Plant Pick. The sterility means no self-seeding issues. The extended bloom period surpasses the parent. The autumn colour adds seasonal interest. One of the best hybrid geraniums combining colour, form, and extended flowering. Works with wide range of colour combinations.
