Detailed Information

Hardy Geranium ‘Phoebe Noble’ is a *cultivar*. This means it’s a specific variety that has been selectively bred from other geranium species. Therefore, pinpointing a single “native region” is tricky.

However, we can trace its likely parentage to narrow down the possibilities:

* **Hardy Geraniums in general** are native to temperate regions of the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America.

* Because ‘Phoebe Noble’ is a cultivated variety, it’s likely bred from other popular hardy geranium species. Many common garden hardy geraniums have origins in Europe, particularly the **Balkans and the Caucasus regions.**

Therefore, while ‘Phoebe Noble’ itself doesn’t have a single “native region,” its genetic heritage likely lies primarily in **Europe, potentially with influences from the Balkan or Caucasus regions.** Garden origin is more probable than a specific wild location for a cultivar like this.
