Hi all, I'm rather new to geraniums, I do have Johnson's Blue and Splish splash
I'm looking to put in a bed I'm re-doing, some pink low growers- 6"-8" or 10".. are there any varieties with variegated/mottled/2 color foliage - or whatever - just looking for something interesting when it's out of bloom --
?? Thanks |

My favorite pale pink is Bikova. It is an evergreen and will re-bloom here if dead headed.

| A cautionary tale about Wargrave's Pink: The color is beautiful, clear pink but the foliage does not withstand the summer heat and turns brown in mid summer - it will perk up again if you cut it down but did not reflower for me as my Brookside did in the fall. Also, my plants apparently did not survive the winter - no signs of life at this point, and they were at least a little bit mulched. |

| From what I've seen and heard, the striatum sanguinium pink cranesbill is a beautiful and long flowering low growing mounding type. I just bought a few myself. |
