Geranium ‘Ballerina’ brings a light, graceful touch to the summer garden with its soft pink flowers delicately veined in deep purple. Each slightly cupped bloom, around 3 cm across, stands out against a tidy mound of rounded grey-green foliage. Growing to just 15 cm tall, this compact cranesbill is ideal for edging borders, softening rockeries, or weaving through gravel paths. Its neat habit and dependable performance have earned it the RHS Award of Garden Merit, highlighting it as both beautiful and reliable.

Although it looks delicate, Geranium cinereum ‘Ballerina’ is a resilient and easy-going perennial. It flowers generously throughout summer, forming a low, spreading mat that helps suppress weeds while providing a long-lasting source of nectar for pollinators. Happy in full sun or partial shade, it thrives in well-drained soil and asks for very little maintenance. Even when not in bloom, the attractive grey-green foliage adds texture and interest to the planting. With its steady flowering and elegant form, Geranium ‘Ballerina’ remains a dependable favourite for adding gentle colour and charm to the garden.
