Cranesbill, or hardy geraniums, are perennial border plants with saucer-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple and blue. They're easy to grow, thrive in shade and flower for months. Geraniums are popular in cottage garden schemes and offer a long season of pollen and nectar for a number of pollinators, particularly bees.
Geranium × cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' is a semi-evergreen, low-growing cranesbill, bearing masses of pink-veined, white flowers with pink stamens, over a long period. It’s perfect for using as ground cover.
Grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to full shade. Remove tired leaves and divide congested clumps in spring.
