Unique dark Cherry flowers with light pink serrated edges as well as markings on the petals. | Erodium x variabile 'Bishop's Form' By far the best rose-pink form available. This Erodium has a slightly larger habit than its predecessors, whilst maintaining a compact habit, lovely dark foliage and vibrant pink flowers through summer. |
Leaves with huge cinnamon stars are surrounded by the loveliest intense orange tea coloured borders. The big, palmate cut leaves darken in the summer and lighten up again in the autumn. Its H. villosa origins give it a big bold habit and summer heat tolerance. | Spreading blue-green foliage under petite flowers of pink with a dark maroon eye. |
I'm not sure you can beat this variety with its beautiful cream-yellow flower spreading to lavender on its margins and an unforgettable scent. |
