Description

Add a touch of moody elegance to your garden with Geranium phaeum ‘Raven’. Known for its deep, velvety purple flowers and handsome, lobed foliage, this shade-loving perennial thrives in the dappled corners of South London gardens. Low-maintenance and long-flowering, it pairs beautifully with ferns, hostas, or astrantia for a soft, naturalistic planting scheme. A great choice for underplanting trees, adding colour to borders, or softening harder urban edges.
