Geranium Biokovo

Often cited as one of the best all-around perennials, Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' is a fantastic groundcover that balances delicate beauty with reliability. In late Spring and early Summer, it is carpeted in ethereal, five-petalled flowers of the palest blush-white, accented by prominent, deep pink stamens that give the blooms a dainty, "eyed" appearance. The true strength of 'Biokovo' lies in its foliage. Its aromatic, semi-evergreen leaves form a dense, weed-suppressing mat that stays tidy all year round. As temperatures drop in Autumn, the bright green leaves take on spectacular tints of fiery red and orange, providing a second season of high-impact colour. Exceptionally versatile, it is equally at home tumbling over a stone wall, softening the edges of a path, or filling gaps in a sunny rockery. It is highly resistant to pests and diseases, and once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant.
