Description
Geranium macrorrhizum, also known as Big-root Cranesbill, is an extremely hardy, mat-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with incredible versatility and colour. Its leaves are attractive in themselves and aromatic; their lobed, toothed shape is gently rounded off and they can take on hues of red, bronze and purple in the autumn for additional seasonal interest. The pretty pink and magenta flowers with elongated stamens sit on short stems hovering above the foliage, and bloom continually throughout the summer months.
Adaptable to any soil as long as it is moist but well-drained and any light conditions including full shade, Geranium macrorrhizum will tolerate even the harshest weather and is drought resistant too.
It grows to a maximum height of 50cm and spread of 1m.
Supplied as a professional size plant in a 2L pot, all plants are health checked before sending with a Scottish plant passport. Depending on when in the season you buy, they may be getting ready to flower, in flower, or have passed flowering. If bought in winter the foliage may be dying back, but the plants will re-grow the following season.
Ensure the plant is watered in, and regularly after initial planting until new growth is seen which generally indicates the plant has started to root into the new position.
Please feel free to contact Borringtons prior to buying with any questions about your prospective purchase.
