Description
English: Wooly-flowered geranium (Geranium erianthum ) by Sarah Ann Drake. In present day it is called "Wooly geranium."


John Lindley wrote in 1842: "A robust hardy perennial, of easy culture, growing from one to two feet high, in any good garden soil. It flowers freely during the months of June and July, and is easily increased by dividing the old plant when in a state of rest, or by seeds; the seeds should be sown directly they are ripe, and then will flower the following season.


"It was raised in the Garden of the Horticultural Society, from seeds received from the late Mr. Moreton Dyer, from North-west America."
