Fabulous Valerie--one of my favorites too!
Days like these, where winter battles spring for dominance and seems to be winning, I wonder if we'll ever get there...
But, I'm sure it won't be too long and then I'll be complaining about the heat

What a cute blend and combination. Makes for a perfectly sized banner and inspirational to have patience till Spring is in full bloom.

It is Geranium 'Elke'. This is my favourite geranium. It blooms for most of the summer here and is not invasive.
Hardy Geranium (Geranium sanguineum 'Elke')

Catmint and Geranium Elke make an appealing banner. My thoughts are it would be a great combination in any garden setting especially mine.

Here is a photo showing my planting of this combination. It would be nice if you tried it, Leon!
