Geranium Vision Pink

Vision Pink is a compact form of the bloody cranesbill, Geranium sanguineum, a species native to Europe and much of Britain. The rose-pink flowers carry darker veining across each petal, and as the year turns the neat mound of deeply divided leaves colours to red before it fades for winter.

It asks very little once planted, forming a tidy dome that rarely needs staking or splitting. A trim after the main flush keeps the shape and can prompt a few more blooms. Dry, sharply drained soil suits it, and the clump returns each spring from the same rootstock.
