JESTER’S JACKET CRANESBILL

Wonderful groundcover foliage, with each leaf splashed with pink, cream and pink on pretty little Geranium thunbergii ‘Jester’s Jacket.
Icing sugar pink flowers in spring & summer are the topping on the cake, but really it is the foliage that gives such delight.
And you can really see how appropriate the common name of jester’s Jacket’ is. Because no two intricately coloured leaves are the same.

Gerenium thunbergii ‘Jester’s Jacket’ forms  a low perennial clump, and it makes a lovely groundcover when massed.

Grow Jester’s jacket in Part Shade, Dappled Sun to Full Sun.
It is ideal nestling under taller roses or shrubs, where the colourful foliage can compliment the colours of other flowers, and add extra sparkle.

Flowers 25cm H x 45cm W mat of foliage.
