Geranium 'Mavis Simpson', Crane's Bill 'Mavis Simpson', Geranium × riversleaianum 'Mavis Simpson', Hardy Geraniums
Noted for the length of its flowering season, award-winning Geranium ‘Mavis Simpson’ is a spreading, semi-evergreen perennial with masses of perfectly rounded, soft, shell pink flowers adorned with finely drawn, darker veins and a white center. The blossoms are held on long flowering stems, well above the foliage of finely cut, downy, silver-tinted leaves, and produced in great quantities from late spring to late fall. Well-behaved, with one of the longest flowering periods of the hardy geraniums, it is an ideal element of the perennial border where the flowers gently thread their way through the stems of neighboring plants. Excellent ground cover too.
