Biokovo Cranesbill, Hardy Geranium
Geranium cantabrigiense ‘Cambridge’
Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Cambridge' is a vigorous, semi-evergreen perennial ground cover prized for its profuse, soft lavender-blue flowers and dense, spreading habit. This robust cultivar forms a lush, weed-suppressing mat of small, rounded, lobed, glossy, medium green leaves that remain attractive throughout the growing season. From late spring through midsummer, it produces an abundance of small, saucer-shaped, soft lavender-blue to pale violet-blue flowers with subtle veining and a delicate white center, rising just above the foliage and creating a cool, airy, colorful carpet that attracts butterflies and other pollinators. In autumn, the foliage often takes on attractive reddish-bronze tones. Exceptionally adaptable, drought-tolerant once established, and deer resistant, it is an outstanding choice for ground cover, rock gardens, slopes, borders, and as a colorful filler between shrubs.
