Geranium Phaeum 'Joseph Green'
Perennial
This is an absolutely gorgeous phaeum, with ruffled purple petals that surround the bright, acid green stamen. As with most phaeums, the large leaves have purple blotches and the flower stems are held above on long stems. A perfect plant for a semi-shade or shady woodland border, they are a superb plant for late spring pollinators. Team with pulmonaria, hellebores, ferns, tellima and lamium for a classic dappled shade border.
Planting guidance:
Prefers moist, well-drained soil in light or semi-shade. Planting companions include pulmonaria, hellebores, ferns, tellima and lamium.
Position: Front of border, shady areas, informal woodland borders.
Height: 20-30cm
Spread: 20-30cm
Flowers: May - June

All our plants are grown in York. We never use pesticides and use a certified organic seaweed feed to our parent plants where appropriate. We know this is important to our valued clients and always seek to work with nature, rather than against it.
Geranium Phaeum 'Joseph Green'
Our plants are kept in nursery beds out of season, meaning that they generally don't spend longer than 3 months in a pot. Our plants are mainly available in either a 9cm or 2litre pot - please see photos for reference.
Out of season, we can provide our plants 'bare rooted'. This simply means they are provided without compost or a pot, in paper. This saves on plastic and means we can offer you plants at a reduced cost. Not all plants are suitable for bare rooting, and not all soils are ideal for bare roots to be planted! If you are keen to give bare root plants a try (and you should), but don't feel you have the confidence to try them, you can contact us our advice.
We are ALWAYS happy to talk about plants, so please do ask questions - we want your garden to thrive!
