Geranium Cinereum Group Ballerina is an accepted Cinereum Group cultivar in the Geraniaceae family. The RHS records a deciduous Herbaceous Perennial and Clump-former reaching 10-50 cm in height and spread after two to five years. Kew accepts the underlying species as a temperate Perennial native from the western and central Pyrenees to northwestern Spain.
The plant forms a compact Mound of rounded, deeply Lobate Gray-Green to Silver leaves. Slightly Cup-shaped flowers are about 3 cm across, with pale Pink to Purple petals, deep purplish-red veins, and a dark central eye. Exact RHS trial measurements document an 8-by-15-cm trial plant and flowering from mid-May through late July; broader catalog dimensions remain in the structured range fields.
Grow in Full sun or Partial shade in Chalk, Loam, or Sand at any pH, with Moist but Well Drained or Well Drained Soil and no waterlogging. The documented USDA range is zones 5-9. Use as Ground Cover, in rock or gravel gardens, wildlife plantings, and containers. Water regularly during establishment, then when the upper 2 inches of soil dries. Pair with Gaillardia, Rudbeckia, Festuca, Echinacea, or Chrysanthemum.
