Description
Geranium macrorrhizum ‘Spessart’ is a reliable, low-growing hardy perennial valued for its attractive foliage, delicate flowers, and excellent ground-covering habit. In late spring and early summer it produces clusters of soft white flowers with pale pink buds, creating a light and elegant display above the foliage.
The deeply lobed green leaves are aromatic when touched and form a dense mat that effectively suppresses weeds, making this geranium an excellent choice for ground cover, borders, woodland gardens, and underplanting shrubs and trees.
In autumn, the foliage often develops warm red and bronze tones, extending seasonal interest in the garden. Geranium macrorrhizum ‘Spessart’ is particularly valued for its tough, adaptable nature, thriving in dry shade as well as sunnier positions once established.
Hardy, low maintenance, and wildlife friendly, this cranesbill is ideal for both informal planting schemes and naturalistic garden designs.
Supplied in a 2L pot, this well-established perennial is ready to plant and quickly spread to form an attractive ground cover.
