| I was given three of these. Beautiful purple, somewhat trumpet shaped flowers. Deeply cut leaves, medium green, possibly somewhat furry leaves. The shrub forum sent me over here, with a guess that it's possibly a perennial geranium?
They look pretty ratty in their pot, but may get gorgeous in the ground, once I know what they need. |

| It looks like it is that. Flower looks the same, leaf looks the same. Big and scraggly... Thanks, that helps me narrow down where the heck to plant it. |

| I'm not in zone 7 anymore. I fixed in my profile, but it's not showing up when I post. I'm in 9b/17 now. No idea why it doesn't show up properly when I post..... So, they were free. I have 3. I'll plant them and see how they do, and enjoy them while they last. |
