Geranium wlassovianum 'Lakwijk Star' 8/2021 Geranium- () Hardy Geranium, Mature size: 16x24”, dark bluish purple flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month 6-9, In Garden Bed E1,6,4 for 14 MONTHS (DiggingDog). Planted in 2020.
DiggingDog Nursery:Named for its starry floral display and creator, Jan van Lakwijk, this seldom-offered Geranium is a prismatic delight. The sturdy species hails from the damp grasslands of eastern Siberia, Mongolia, and northeastern China, and was once noted as a choice word to utter during stressful situations. Topping fuzzy 16 in. stems, large saucer-shaped, white-centered, dark bluish purple flowers with raisin-colored veins embellish the rounded, 3 in. wide lobed leaves that sport purplish cocoa-colored markings plus a velvet-soft finish. The unbeatable easy-care clump turns a dusky green once summer arrives, then premiers brilliant red and aubergine shades in autumn.
Blooms June–September
