Geranium wlassovianum 'Lakwijk Star' 6/2022 Geranium E1-
Geranium wlassovianum 'Lakwijk Star' 6/2022 Geranium E1- (Lakwijk) Hardy Geranium, Mature plant size: 16x24in., dark bluish purple flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month 6-9, In Garden Bed E1 for 25 MONTHS (DiggingDog). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Geranium wlassovianum is a bushy, clump-forming perennial which typically grows to 24" tall with a 12-18" spread. Features 1" diameter, 5-petaled, dusky violet flowers with deep violet veining on the petals from late spring to early summer. Each flower has a small white eye. Lobed foliage emerges olive green with chocolate blotches, matures to dusky green and turns red in autumn. Fall color can be outstanding. This species is native to damp grasslands and scrub in eastern Asia.
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
Size: 16" high x 2' 0" – 3' 0" wide.
Hardy to zone 4.
