Geranium sylvaticum 'Baker's Pink'
A wood cranesbill selection with soft pink flowers in late spring. Forms neat clumps with attractive divided foliage. Native to European woodlands. More compact than the species with improved flower colour. The neat habit suits front to middle border positions.
Thrives in part shade to sun with moisture-retentive soil. The woodland origin suggests preference for dappled light. The soft pink flowers combine well with spring bulbs and early perennials. The divided foliage remains attractive after flowering.
