Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 8, growing 12-18 inches tall, but spreads 1-2 feet wide.

- Lush Mounds Of Incised Greenery
- Hardy Perennial Groundcover

#ProPlantTips for Care:
White Cranesbill Geranium, being drought tolerant, needs a full sun area with some shade in the afternoon ideally. For best results, plant in a dry to moist area in a well-drained site.
Add 3-4 inches of mulch at the base of your plants to help maintain adequate moisture during drier times of the year. Watering needs can be determined with most plants using a simple Finger Test, by sticking your finger into the soil up to the second knuckle. If it's moist, then skip watering, but if it's dry then give your plants in that area a drink.
Geraniums are easily divided in spring or fall and help fill your landscape faster. You can deadhead after the first wave of blooms to later enjoy a second! In late autumn or early spring, trim last year's foliage down to a 1-inch length in early spring. Biokovo may be evergreen in warmer hardiness zones. If so, gently rake out fallen leaves to tidy up at that time, taking care not to pull too hard.
