Description
Geranium columbinum reaches on average 15–30 cm (5.9–11.8 ) in height, with a maximum of 60 centimetres (23.6 in). The stem is more or less erect, hairy and quite branched. The leaves are opposite, approximately pentagonal and palmate and the leaf lobes have two to three deep cuts. So the leaf shape is similar to a pigeon's foot (hence the Latin epithet columbinus). The flowers are pink to purple, 15–20 mm (0.590551181102362–0.78740157480315 ) in size, with five obovate-heart-shaped petals as long as the sepals. The petals are 7-9 mm long, with distinctive veining. The flowering period extends from March to September. The flowers are hermaphroditeGlossary of botanical terms
