Alpine / Rockery

A compact cranesbill forms a bushy mound of coffee-bronze coloured foliage. In late Spring, pretty cup-shaped soft pink-purple flowers begin to appear, contrasting beautifully against the dark leaves. Cut back after blooming to encourage a second flush in mid Summer. Position in free-draining soil in full sun or partial shade. Suitable for beds, borders, edging, cottage or woodland gardens. Also good in pots or containers. Height 40 cm. Spread 60 cm.
