Description
The perennial Geranium cinereum 'Jolly Jewel™ Salmon' spreads its soft, dark green foliage, matte and slightly ashy, under a profusion of vibrant salmon pink flowers finely veined with red, and enhanced by a faded red heart. Flowering all summer, this perennial prefers morning sun, thrives between the stones of a rockery, on slopes and in poor, well-drained soils. This recent variety is not a tall plant, but it is certainly high in colour, hardy in the garden and perfectly suited for container cultivation.
Geranium cinereum is a member of the Geraniaceae family, native to the grassy rockeries of mountains from southern Europe to the Balkans. The variety 'Jolly Jewel Salmon', from which it originates, is an herbaceous perennial plant with a woody stump forming a cushion 15-20 cm (6-8in) in height and at least 20 cm (8in) in diameter. Its growth is quite rapid, with the plant reaching full development in two or three years. The foliage, semi-evergreen, is arranged in a rosette. It consists of leaves 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, deeply lobed and divided, pubescent, dark green with grey highlights, and soft to the touch. The flowering is renewed from June to September if the soil does not dry out too much, in the form of 2 to 3 cm (1in) diameter, open cups of a very bright salmon colour with a darker heart. The flowers are grouped in clusters of 2 or 3, carried above the foliage by 20 cm (8in) stems. This geranium spreads slowly, without ever being invasive.
The perennial Geranium cinereum 'Jolly Jewel Salmon' will find its place in a rockery, at the front of perennial borders, in sunny beds, and in partial shade in the afternoon. It will be very effective in a flowerpot or well-drained planter. It pairs well with plants with similar needs such as Geranium renardii, Geranium dalmaticum, Iberis, Limonium, Aster dumosus or whorled Coreopsis. It is an ideal perennial for mountain gardens and highly mineral landscapes.

Planting and care
Plant the perennial Geranium cinereum Jolly Jewel Salmon in a perfectly well-drained soil, even rocky and slightly chalky, but not too dry in summer to support flowering. It tolerates poor soils and fears stagnant moisture in winter, which sometimes causes its roots to rot. It requires a very sunny exposure in the morning but partially shaded in the afternoon to flower well and show a compact habit.

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.
