Geranium nodosum 'Clos de Coudray'

A reasonably compact, semi-evergreen, clump-forming herbaceous perennial, retaining its foliage in all except very cold winters. Lobed glossy green foliage is produced on stems to 45cm (18in) and across along with mid purple flowers fading to a paler edge on the petals and darker purple veins. Its tolerance of dry shade once established make it a useful subject for growing beneath taller growing shrubs
