Geranium pratense 'White Lady'
A white-flowered selection of meadow cranesbill with large flowers above attractive divided foliage. The white blooms appear in early summer providing clean bright colour. Forms substantial clumps suitable for middle to back border positions.
Thrives in sun or part shade with average soil. The large white flowers are substantial and showy. Native to European meadows but long cultivated. Deadheading prevents self-seeding and may encourage some rebloom. The divided foliage remains attractive after flowering. Classic cottage garden plant.
