Geranium maculatum album--a mother at last

8 years ago

I have a very nice clump of Geranium maculatum album--the white wild geranium. I've had it a long time but it has never set seed. Or the seeds have not germinated, more likely. It's in dry shade and tree roots (sorry plant) so I'm lucky it has lived and prospered. It's in full bloom now and I just noticed that it has three babies about ten feet away.

My notes say I bought 2 plants--which merged into one clump--in 1991 from Arrowhead Nurseries so this is a very long wait to be a plant grandmother. At last--I can't believe it.

PS--I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember Arrowhead Nurseries. Does anyone? Not the place on Nantucket.
