Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Every garden should have a mystery geranium. If I can build this into an article of horticultural faith, one of those guiding principles by which we populate our beds and borders, I tell myself I’ll feel better about having utterly failed to discover the identity of one of my favourite perennials since I misplaced the label several years ago. But then, what’s in a name? Aside from the mild frustration attendant upon having forgotten it, I’ve still been able to enjoy its deeply cut leaves with the inkiest of purple splashes, the palest pink petals with their tracery of cerise in the veins. I’ve still chopped bits off as gifts for good friends, and to fill gaps in other borders. One day I may remember what to call it, but I doubt if I could like it any more.
