Not sure where you would get one these days, but I can tell you that it is a
hybrid between Geranium endressi and geranium traversii, the latter being
quite tricky to grow. the resulting plants are not long lived in wet gardens
like mine but do better in dry sunny gardens. the two best known hybrids are
Russell Pritchard and Mavis Simpson but I have in the past raised several
good plants here by crossing the species before I got fed up with replacing
them every other year. I have never noticed seed on the plants, which will
not come true
Beth Chatto sells it as do many other outlets
