I had already ordered these before – a safe bet! Very pretty as border edging. Of the six I ordered, only one arrived looking very weak; I wonder if it will recover...

Description
Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' is an excellent ground cover plant discovered fortuitously in 1990 in the Biokovo mountains in Croatia. It spreads slowly and forms a beautiful low evergreen carpet, composed of round and aromatic leaves that turn a lovely red colour in autumn. Its fragrant flowering is long and abundant, with adorable small white flowers tinged with pink. Ideal for natural gardens. It is not afraid of severe winter cold and can withstand summer heat.
Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' belongs to the Geraniaceae family. It is a spontaneous cultivar of the natural hybrid Geranium x cantabrigiense, derived from Geranium dalmaticum from the Balkan coast and Geranium macrorrhizum, a southern plant accustomed to dry summers. This hardy herbaceous perennial forms a carpet 15 to 25cm (6 to 10in) tall and spreads laterally thanks to its stolons, reaching a width of 50 to 80cm (20 to 32in). Its growth is quite slow. It blooms in late spring, from May-June to July-August depending on the climate, with countless fragrant flowers in pale-pink open cups washed with white at the centre, punctuated by stamens and brighter pink anthers. The aromatic, round, palmate, compound, evergreen foliage displays beautiful bright green shades during the season. It takes on reddish tones in autumn and winter.
This perennial geranium appreciates the sun but is sensitive to scorching exposures, especially in hot climates. This easy-to-grow plant requires little maintenance. Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' is an excellent ground cover plant. It is highly robust, and is suitable for any type of soil, even in partial shade. It will quickly add a colourful touch to perennial beds and elegantly highlight the curve of a pathway. It will be welcome at the base of plants, as it won't smother them but will enhance them with its fuzzy foliage. It will also find its place on balconies, patios, in containers, in a border, in rockeries, and in flower beds, where it will be a faithful companion to columbines, peonies, and bellflowers.

Planting and care
Prepare a planting hole 20x20x20cm (8x8x8in). Crumble the soil well and place a dressing such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Position your plant and cover the top of the root ball with 3cm (1in) of soil. Fill the hole and water generously to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate establishment.

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.
