Hardy, they thrive in well-drained soil in full sun, in neutral to alkaline, well-drained soils.

Erodium x variabile 'Album' is a pretty, perennial forming a dense matt of grey-green leaves, from which pure white flowers appear from May to September. It’s ideal for growing at the front of a border or in rock gardens, and can easily be used as part of a container display.
