An exquisite double-flowered variety of Meadow Cranesbill, award-winning Geranium pratense 'Plenum Violaceum' is incredibly beautiful. It forms dense mounds of jaggedly-lobed, dark green leaves, topped in late spring - midsummer with profuse and very attractive, double violet-blue blossoms, 1.5 in. wide (4 cm), delicately flushed purple at their heart. Long-lasting, the flowers are sterile and do not set seed. Mix this Hardy Geranium with Geranium cinereum 'Ballerina' and Viola cornuta to create a charming edging for a sunny path!
