Hardy Geranium x cantabrigiense ‘Biokovo’

Description

The spring flowers on this cross between the delicate G. dalmaticum and the robust G. macrorrhizum are white with a touch of pink at the base, and pink stamens. The blossoms are carried on 6–8″ stems above a carpet of bright green foliage that has a spicy fragrance. Easy and vigorous—sounds like a ground cover to us, but also useful in the perennial border with other Geraniums.

This is the true Geranium, not to be confused with the annual Pelargonium one sees everywhere in summer. Perennial Geraniums are lovely plants that grow in full sun or partial shade (required in the South and the warmer areas of the West) and need soil with good drainage.
