Geranium 'Philippe Vapelle'

 

Geranium 'Philippe Vapelle'

It can be confusing because "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus symmetrical, whereas pelargonium flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals. Pelargoniums are mostly used in hanging baskets, pots or bedding schemes and are a popular summer addition to garden planting. Geraniums are hardy and mainly perennial and are used in a number of garden situations such as ground cover or rockery plants. Geraniums are easily grown and can transform problem places such as dry shade, hot sunny banks or moist shade. 'Philippe Vapelle' is a clump-forming perennial with attractive blue-grey, lobed basal leaves which have a softly hairy, finely wrinkled texture. Flowers have a wide-open habit with notched petals; bluish violet with strongly marked dark veins.
