Description
The perennial Geranium cinereum v.subcaulescens 'Giuseppi' forms a cushion of dark green, matte, ash-coloured foliage, and is adorned with vibrant carmine red flowers with a contrasting black centre. It blooms on beautiful spring days and then accompanies the return of September rains in a festive manner. This hardy montane perennial will give its best with its head in the sun and its roots anchored in the rockery, on inhospitable slopes and in poor soils. Its very natural style is well suited for rocky or wild gardens.
Geranium cinereum v.subcaulescens is a member of the Geraniaceae family, native to herbaceous rocky areas in the mountains of southern Europe up to the Balkans. 'Giuseppi' displays particularly brilliant flowering. It 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 its 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, almost without stems, deeply lobed and divided, pubescent, dark green with greyish reflections, soft to the touch. The flowering occurs for the first time in late spring, in the form of 2 to 3 cm (1in) diameter open cups, more vivid than the type species, carmine-red veined with red, slightly more pink in the centre, around a black heart, and grouped in clusters of 2 or 3, carried above the foliage by 20 cm (8in) stems. After a summer rest period, the plant usually blooms again in September-October. This geranium slowly spreads, without ever becoming invasive.
The perennial Geranium cinereum v. subcaulescens 'Giuseppi' will find its place in a rockery, at the forefront of perennial beds, or in sunny borders. It will have a beautiful effect in a flowerpot or a well-draining planter. It pairs well with plants that have similar needs such as the perennial Geranium renardii, Geranium dalmaticum, iberis, limonium, whorled asters, and coreopsis. It is an ideal perennial for mountain gardens.

Planting and care
Plant the perennial Geranium cinereum var. subcaulescens 'Giuseppi' in a perfectly drained soil, even stony, gravelly and chalky. It thrives in poor soils and especially dreads waterlogged soils in winter, which causes its roots to rot. For it to flower well and display a compact habit, it requires a very sunny exposure.

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.
