The name refers to the hairy leaves of this species, but we can't say that we've noticed that these leaves are particularly hairy. They seem to be succulent and branched. The section Otidia is very confused. This plant is vegetatively propagated from a selection made in South Africa, but we must say that we're not confident of its identification. The flowers are white and reflexed. It occurs on the northwest coast of Cape Province in South Africa.

Geranium phaeum 'Margaret Wilson'

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.
