Very well packaged, as usual, the young plant doesn't seem to have suffered during transportation. I'm waiting for it to shoot and flower. I recommend.

Description
Erodium manescavii is a perennial that thrives in the heat and drought of a well-exposed rocky soil. Similar to geraniums, it is easy to cultivate and its pleasant flowering combines well with its light foliage. It is ground cover that only dislikes heavy soils and stagnant moisture.
Manescau stork's bill presents very leafy intense green tufts with large lobed leaves measuring 30cm (12in) long and 10cm (4in) in diameter. Above, long stalks of purple-magenta-pink flowers marked with darker spots rise up in clusters. All of this forms a lovely spreading tuft that reaches 40cm (16in) in height and is very floriferous from June to September.
Originally from the Pyrenees, the Erodium manescavii is particularly resistant to cold and drought. Beneath the apparent delicacy of its flowers lies a vigorous perennial ground cover that is easy to cultivate in any well-draining soil in full sun. It is ideal in a rock garden, trough or crown of a wall combined with stipas, sedums or oreganos, but also on a slope or sunny flower bed.
Like its cousin, the perennial geranium, it is also nicknamed Stork's Bill or Heron's Bill, alluding to its elongated fruit that appears at the end of flowering. If allowed to mature, the plant will self-seed abundantly.

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.
