Description
Erodium or STorksbill Spanish Eyes is a variety with evergreen silver-green foliage, aromatic and highly divided, which is covered in summer with delicate flowers that look like paper. They are composed of 5 delicate and transparent petals, pink-lilac veined with purple, two of which have additional purple spots at the base. It is a perennial that loves the heat and drought of a well-exposed rocky soil. Similar to geraniums, it is easy to grow and its very pleasant flowering combines well with its light foliage. It is a groundcover plant that only dislikes heavy soils and soil that becomes waterlogged in winter.
Erodium belongs to the Geraniaceae family. Erodium Spanish Eyes is derived from the species E. glandulosum, native to the Pyrenees. It forms a compact and dense clump and has very divided silver-green foliage, reminiscent of ferns. This foliage is evergreen in winter. Floral stems rise above this vegetation, bearing very open umbels of five petals, pink-lilac, veined with purple, marked with darker spots on only two petals. Overall this forms a 20 cm (8in) tall and 30 cm (12in) wide groundcover, which is very floriferous from May to September. Like its perennial relative, it is also called Cranesbill, alluding to its elongated fruit that appears at the end of flowering. If allowed to mature, the plant self-seeds abundantly.
Erodium Spanish Eyes is resistant to cold and drought. Beneath the apparent delicacy of its flowers lies a vigorous perennial groundcover, easy to grow in any well-draining soil in the sun, provided the soil remains dry and well-drained in winter. It is ideal in a rockery and in a trough, top of a wall associated with Stipas, low Sedums or Origans. It is also perfect on a slope or in a raised and sunny bed. It grows well in pots.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
