Geranium cinereum Ballerina is a beautiful, low-growing Geranium which holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS. Attractive mounds of grey-green foliage are covered by large lilac, purple veined blooms with a black centre from May to August.Cranesbill Geraniums are one of the easiest plants to grow and give so much back - floriferous, great groundcover, slug and rabbit resistant, attractive to bees and not fussy on soil conditions.Delicate looking yet fully hardy Geranium cinereum ‘Ballerina’ will return to grace your borders with her delicate blooms each year - semi-evergreen, some foliage will survive the winter. Thrives in moist, well-drained soil in sun or shade and is drought tolerant once established. After flowering, encourage a second flush of blooms by cutting back spent stems. Mulch annually with leaf mould or well-rotted compost to keep plants healthy and floriferous, and to retain soil moisture.
