Biokovo Geranium
Geranium × cantabrigiense ‘Biokovo’Biokovo Geranium is a low-growing spreading perennial prized for its soft blush-pink flowers, fragrant foliage, and dense groundcover habit. Blooming heavily in late spring to early summer, this hardy geranium produces masses of delicate pale pink to nearly white flowers with deeper pink stamens that create a soft, airy appearance above the foliage. The blooms provide a refined, natural look that blends beautifully into woodland gardens, borders, and underplantings.
Its rounded aromatic foliage forms a thick carpet of textured green leaves that release a pleasant fragrance when brushed or crushed. In fall, the foliage often develops attractive red and bronze tones for additional seasonal interest. The spreading habit helps suppress weeds and makes this variety especially effective for covering difficult areas beneath trees or along pathways.
Biokovo Geranium typically reaches 6 to 12 inches tall while gradually spreading 18 to 24 inches wide. It is especially valued for its adaptability, toughness, and ability to thrive in both sun and shade. Once established, it handles drought and dry conditions well while continuing to provide reliable foliage coverage throughout the growing season.
This perennial grows best in full shade to partial sun with well-drained soil but adapts easily to a wide range of garden conditions. It requires minimal maintenance and reliably returns year after year with strong growth and consistent flowering.
