Hardy Geranium, Caucasian Cranesbill, Renard Geranium
Mostly valued for its handsome foliage which consists of sage-green velvety, lobed, finely wrinkled leaves, Geranium renardii or Renard Geranium also produces lovely pure white flowers marked with fascinating violet stripes in late spring or early summer. Compact, its foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season and makes it useful as a low ground cover. Turning yellow in fall, it creates a pretty contrast.
