Description

Elegant and effortlessly natural-looking, Geranium phaeum ‘Samobor’ is a woodland favourite, known for its deep plum-coloured flowers and striking marbled foliage. Flowering in late spring, it’s perfect for shady corners, underplanting trees, or adding subtle drama to borders. Its ability to thrive in dappled shade makes it an excellent choice for South London gardens with mature trees or north-facing beds. Try pairing with hostas, ferns or astrantia for a soft, layered look.
