Unit price perGeranium robertianum
Herb Robert is a delicate annual or short-lived biennial herb with finely divided fern-like foliage that often develops attractive red tints in cooler weather. Small, bright pink five-petalled flowers appear from spring through autumn, making it a charming addition to woodland gardens, shaded borders and naturalistic plantings. Growing to around 30 cm tall, it thrives in moist, sheltered positions where many other herbs struggle.
Traditionally, Herb Robert has been used in European herbal medicine, with the leaves commonly prepared as herbal teas and other traditional remedies. It is an easy-care plant that readily self-seeds in suitable conditions, providing a continual display of flowers while attracting bees and other beneficial insects.

Approximately 60 seeds per packet
