Bulgarian Geranium

A wonderful and rare ‘set and forget’ plant that will reward you with years of love and enjoyment.

A top notch ground cover, edge or filler with lasting flowers and luxuriant foliage. Handles full sun, part shade, dry shade and is a winner under evergreen or deciduous trees. The fuchsia purple flowers (2.5cm) flush over the leaves through summer, with some spot flowering spring and autumn.
The luxuriant, deeply lobed, big aromatic leaves turn a rich red in autumn. It is evergreen in all but the coldest climes. A terrific weed suppressant plant.

Commonly known as Bulgarian Geranium or Big Root Geranium.

It is also a lovely potted plant, where the foliage and flowers can spill over the side. It is tolerant of most soil types so long as they are well drained. In pots, quality potting mix should be used. It is a nice choice in combination with spring bulbs as it comes into its own as the bulbs are fading. The rabbits don’t seem interested in this one, but the butterflies and bees love it.

Plant Geranium macrorrhizum in full sun to light shade and fertilise at the beginning of spring, and again in summer while it establishes. Keep moist during active growth for best flowers. Once established it will withstand dry periods. It is quite shade tolerant but won’t flower as prolifically as it could in full shade. Divide as you go in autumn or spring.
