Plant of the Day
Wednesday 2 August 2023
In Stromness, Orkney, there was this great plant of Geranium pratense 'Plenum Violaceum' (cranesbill) in full flower above a mound of foliage. This hardy perennial is reliable, easy to grow and makes an excellent ground cover at the front of a border.

Even after flowering the seed heads of Allium ‘Globe Master’ and Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ still look great in this border. They remind me of fireworks above the Geranium sanguineum (crane's-bill).
