I have no idea lesley I've lost the label somewhere and I can't seem to find it online, it's nice at this time of year but a real thug, not only does it spread madly in the border, but seeds itself around too, the good thing is it likes shade

Last year I took some cutting from the plants in my son's garden. One of them was a type of Geranium I've never grown before. Here are the photos I took of it today when its first flowers opened. Can anyone give an id for this type of Geranium? The variety name is not important, but I would like to know what species it is.

Here is a beautiful variegated Geranium called 'Occold Shield'. I bought a plant last year & have six new plants taken from it as well as the mother plant that still going strong.

It wouldn't survive outside in our winters here. Maybe last year it would because it was mild but we sometimes get a cold snap which would kill it.
