An albino form of Geranium robertianum, originally thought to have been traced to Sir Charles Isham by A. Erodium Bowles (1914). It forms masses of low growing white starry flowers, .4 of an inch in diameter with notched petals over deeply divided ferny dark green leaves. Unlike the rambunctious species Geranium robertianum, which cannot be recommended for the garden, this plant is relatively well behaved. Be sure to sow seed or transplant seedlings in the spring after all danger of frost is past.

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.
