I'm as fond of the foliage of this geranium as I am the flowers. The leaves are large, and the margins are edged in a darker color.

Geranium oxonianum like most hardy geraniums is easy to grow. It has pretty pink/veined (different shades .... pale through bubblegum) of pink flowers. The foliage is nice like most hardy geraniums but not my favorite in a geranium.... its just ok. Not my favorite but not a bad geranium.
