Geranium macrorrhizum Czakor

Excellent shade-loving ground cover, Geranium macrorrhizum 'Czakor' is the plant that every enthusiast should have in their garden given how easy it is to grow in all regions and the invaluable services it provides for smothering weeds, both in shade and in full sun.

The running rhizome stump bears evergreen, villous and palmate leaves, strongly aromatic, of variable green, embellished with superb autumnal colourations, red or orange, which persist throughout the winter. The flowers, ultra bright, are violet, very intense.

Geranium macrorrhizum 'Czakor' grows very well in the shade at the foot of trees or on slopes, and naturalises rapidly. It is one of the few plants capable of competing with ivy in the undergrowth.
