Geranium maderense

Madeira Island Geranium: Giant biennial geranium with large coarsely dissected leaves that are attractive even when not in bloom. 4' tall and wide with huge masses of deep pink flowers with dark purple eyes in spring. Part sun to part shade. Low to medium water. Drought tolerant once established. Flowering stems and sepals are covered with white hairs that catch the light. These hairs are an interesting feature for several weeks after flowering.
