Endres cranesbill (Geranium endressii)

Description

Geranium endressii, commonly called Endres cranesbill or French crane's-bill, is a species of hardy flowering herbaceous or semi-evergreen perennial plant in the genus Geranium, Geraniaceae family.[1] It is native to the Western Pyrenees in Spain, and is cultivated as a garden subject. Growing to 75 cm (30 in) tall and broad, it has a mounding to sprawling habit, therefore is useful as groundcover in light shade. The leaves are deeply divided and the flowers are soft pink with red veins.[2][3] It is very hardy, down to at least −20 °C (−4 °F) and possibly less. This plant[4] and the cultivar ‘Castle Drogo’ have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
