Pelargonium 'Giant Butterfly'

price	$6.00
R. Gubler, Switzerland. "Enormous florets of pure lilac, upper petals slightly darker. Plum markings." This is not a very accurate description. I would call the blotches cherry and purple with heavy dark veins. The flowers are not really enormous, but it is a pretty plant in full flower.

This charming geranium for light shade comes originally from the UK where it was first introduced in 1989. It has pale green and very light creamy-yellow veined and splashed leaves and mid lavender flowers with a white eye. It forms a low mound about 12 x 18" when mature. It is very useful under shrubs and trees in the garden where it produced little splashes of artificial sunshine. It is cold hardy from USDA Zone 4-5 up to Zone 9.
