Geranium phaeum ‘Joseph Green’ is an elegant hardy perennial admired for its unusual pale greenish-white flowers, each delicately marked with deep purple centres. Flowering from late spring into early summer, the blooms are held above attractive mounds of deeply divided green foliage, bringing subtle colour and natural charm to shaded borders and woodland gardens.
