Geranium phaeum 'Samobor' is a distinctive and reliable hardy geranium, grown for its deep maroon-purple flowers and highly ornamental foliage marked with bold, dark purple blotches. Flowering in late spring to early summer, it thrives in partial to full shade and is well suited to woodland gardens and naturalistic borders. Clump-forming, fully hardy, and low maintenance, it provides strong contrast and long-lasting interest.
