I started including this attractive foliage plant when designing theme gardens at the Oklahoma Gardening studio years ago. It combines so well with numerous types of plants. The interestingly shaped variegated leaves are a pleasing pale green and creamy white, giving the foliage a light almost pastel look. I was delighted to see it in mixed containers and window boxes at the world famous Butchart Gardens in 2005. Variegated Mint Leaf Geranium is a superb choice for patio containers or combined with other tender plants in beds or mixed borders.
