Pelargonium sidoides

We wouldn’t care if this small evergreen pelargonium never bloomed, but gosh darn it, its dark maroon/black flowers are fabulous. Silver, velvety foliage is scented to touch. Compact, to about 1 foot tall and wide. Sun or shade. Occasional summer water. Excellent in pots. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8.
