description for "Geraniums: Geranium macrorrhizum 'Variegatum'"
'Variegatum' rock cranesbill produces bold pink flowers. Leaves are lovely and scalloped with cariegated cream markings. Often leaves change color to beautiful reds in the autumn. Geranium macrorrhizum is frequently used in places where an undemanding groundcover is needed. Originally grown for its essential oil, rock cranesbill has a thick, vigorous root system that enables it to withstand dry site conditions and temporary periods of drought. Truly one of the easiest and most rewarding plants to grow! Full sun to part shade. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
