Suggest me a pelargonium alternative!

I have the most gorgeous shocking pink specimen but I'd prefer something that's also pollinator friendly really if something similar exists - shocking pink flowers, less than 30cm height, preferably hardy.

It's the only plant apart from a rose bush I have in my garden that isn't known for attracting pollinating insects.

Knautia macedonica is very pollinator friendly, but a bit too tall. Geranium sanguineum is a british native so it and its garden varieties should be good for pollinators. Geranium endressii is a european geranium with brighter pink flowers.

Pelargonium is insect pollinated, so if you get a single variety not a double flowered one it should be OK.
