Mourning Widow geranium is an attractive plant coming from mountainous areas of Europe. It is very hardy here and likes evenly moist, lightly acidic soil; it seems to do well in part shade where I have it planted. I have the white, as well as a dark purple color. Blooms are graceful and somewhat pendulous on thin stems about 12-16" in height.

And finally an update on this plant in bloom. Unfortunately it has rained for nearly seven consecutive days here (Beginning May 10), and as one can see I did not wait for clear weather to get a picture.

A clump view in much dryer weather. (Journal note: This clump is still in bloom as of today, June 17, 2006; exactly one month from the preceding entry.)
