Hardy Geranium Kora^®

Darkened corners of the landscape can be a tricky prospect when it comes to adding color and beauty. Often, gardeners choose a fine foliage plant only to be disappointed by its lack of flower during the growing season. And when they do opt for a flowering shade lover, they find it has a very short bloom period. Kora^® is the solution to both these problems! This splendid, shade-loving geranium features petite, yet plentiful, flowers with rich, blue-purple petals that fade to pale purple at the tips and surround snowy white centers. They appear dependably from mid spring to midsummer on 20" stems. Kora is perfect for shadowed borders and darkened corners of the landscape. They perennialize well and attract butterflies readily.
