Geranium 'White Guernsey'
This cool-white selection of giant geranium features large incised palmate leaves up to 25cm across. The foliage is topped by a huge bouquet of abundant starry white flowers with subtle pink centres from spring, which decorate the garden at Christmas. Rarely offered (you'll never see this one in the box stores), it is an eye-catching feature in moist, sunny or part shaded areas protected from harsh afternoon sun.
