Ideal for the woodland garden, award-winning Geranium sylvaticum 'Mayflower' (Wood Cranesbill) is one of the best selections for summer foliage. This compact herbaceous perennial forms a dense mound of deeply divided green leaves, topped with abundant and very attractive, rich violet-blue blossoms, 1 in. wide (2.5 cm), adorned with a small white center from late spring to early summer. Flowering best in damp conditions, let it ramble and tumble in with its neighbors beside a pool, stream or in a bog garden!
