✂️ Maintenance
Extremely hardy and undemanding, this perennial geranium thrives with minimal maintenance once established. A light clean-up in spring is sufficient to maintain its vigor and encourage abundant, delicately veined blooms.
Its finely cut, semi-evergreen foliage offers a light and airy texture. The delicate flowers with contrasting veins add a touch of refinement to beds and borders, while the foliage takes on bronze hues in autumn and winter.
