Geranium 'Stephanie' PPAF

Geranium 'Stephanie' arose at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh from seed sent by the Cambridge University Botanic Garden as Geranium peloponnesiacum. It was recognized that this seedling was, in fact, a hybrid between the Greek Geranium peloponnesiacum and the alpine Caucasican species Geranium renardii. The result was Geranium 'Stephanie' which forms a 14" tall x 18" wide tight clump of textured, light green, rounded foliage, topped in April and May with upturned, light mauvy blue (RHS 85A/B) flowers, highlighted by dark purple veins that radiate out from the center...a heavy spring bloomer and a stellar performer in our heat and humidity!
