Geranium macrorrhizum 'White Ness'

True geraniums - not the big showy annuals (actually called Pelargoniums) - are fantastic plants that provide near-year-round interest in the garden. The foliage of the geraniums in our gardens remain green through November before turning the most beautiful shade of crimson in December. They are extremely easy to grow in average garden soil in full sun to part shade.

'White Ness' is a compact, semi-evergreen variety with rounded, light green, aromatic leaves. Quickly covers ground, but never becomes invasive.
