specifically, geranium endressii "wargrave's pink." This beautiful little flower works as hard as verbena bonariensis to seed itself exactly where it needs to be. I've never pulled either plant from where they've chosen to sprout.

Spring in Norway: the sound of water
One of the most useful plants ever for dry shade must be the hardy geraniums.
I have a lot of different sorts, most of them spreading and self-seeding, but easy to remove if not wanted.
I re-discovered this under a Camelia almost smothered by weeds, and prceeded to rescue it!
It is also called Geranium himalayense 'Plenum', and is a very pretty plant ( when it's well!) about 10-12" highwith these charming 1" flowers.
It is by no means as vigourous as the single forms, and I discovered it doesn't like it too dry, and would prefer to be in the sun!
It had a great surprise that day, and I hope it is still feeling better for it!
It is sterile, and can be propogated by division, so I hope to bulk it up over this year.
