Rating for this plant:
This geranium will self-sow, but is not invasive. I have white geraniums that have appeared from a pink parent plant. It is easy to transplant, the root is almost tuber-like, and easily dug up to transplant. After flowering in June or July, the foliage gets a little ratty, and flops. It responds to being sheared back, and sometimes will re-bloom. I recommend this plant. I grow it more for its appealing rounded form than for its flowers, (although they are pretty too).

I like this opinion
