Deep and dark hues combine with uplifting vibrant purple-blues on the eye-catching Geranium pratense Blue ‘Dark Reiter’. A wonderful choice for adding contrasts of colour and beautiful form, this variety of meadow cranesbill stands out for all the right reasons.
Well suited to a variety of garden landscapes, it will flourish when used as underplanting around roses and other shrubs or can be admired in a large cluster as a highly effective ground cover to fill gaps and suppress weeds. Forming into a compact mound, the finely cut foliage and elegant flowers make a captivating container display to position on patio areas or next to entrances.
In addition to the attractive foliage and flowers, this perennial is a magnet for bees, butterflies and a wide range of other beneficial insects. This has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society who have added it to their Plants for Pollinators Collection.
