Geranium x oxonianum f. thurstonianum 'Sherwood'
Thurston's Cranesbill 'Sherwood'
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. Geranium x oxonianum is an interspecific hybrid Geranium, created from a natural cross between two other species - Geranium endressii and Geranium versicolor. It has round toothed palmate green leaves and can be quite invasive as it regularly sets seed. It also spreads quite rapidly as a quick growing plant. It produces pink veined flowers. Geranium x oxonianum f. thurstonianum is a naturally form variant of the species hybrid and has very flat star shaped petals. 'Sherwood' pale pink flowers very narrow petals.
