Geranium sanguineum 'Album' – Compact ground cover with white flowers

The Geranium sanguineum 'Album', known in Dutch as Stork's bill 'Album', is a beautiful, compact perennial with a long-lasting and exuberant bloom. This low-maintenance ground cover is known for its bright white flowers that bloom from June to September and have a subtly contrasting vein. This gives it a fresh and calm appearance in any garden.
