Erodium pelargoniiflorum ‘Sweetheart’

Erodium pelargoniiflorum is a perennial cousin of geraniums, belonging to the same family, Geraniaceae.

The foliage – bright green on top, paler on the bottom, evergreen and aromatic when crushed.

The flowers are … they are something else.

• • The five-petaled flowers are quite special – white with light purple veins running through them.
  •  On top of that, the top two petals have splashes of a darker pink that resembles a splash of red wine spilling outwards.

Just magnificent.

👨‍🌾GARDENING TIPS👨‍🌾:

• • Love rock gardens, in dry soil, in dry gardens – as a ground cover or as a statement plant.
  • Its lifespan is not very long, but it reseeds itself spontaneously in light soil so just let her thrive!
