Erodium x variabile 'Flore Pleno'
Storksbill 'Flore Pleno'
Erodium is a low-growing flowering plant in the geranium family that bears five-petalled flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple, that strongly resemble the better-known Geranium (cranesbill). They like slightly alkaline soil, so add lime if your soil is acid. 'Flore Pleno' has dainty little pink veined flowers, sometimes double, over a low mound of foliage.
