description for "Geraniums: Geranium 'Dusky Rose'"
'Dusky Rose' cranesbill is a hardy perennial geranium. 'Dusky Rose' produces blooms of light baby pink on matted burgundy foliage. Prefers sun or partial shade in free-draining soil. Great for planters, containers and borders. Completely hardy, these are not the annual greenhouse geraniums (actually Pelargonium) found in many gardens. In general, they are free from insects and disease and don't require frequent division. Well drained soil is beneficial to all varieties. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
