Cup-shaped petals of pink/purple with darker veining – like stitches on your favorite quilt. Profuse flowering blankets the finely-cut, green foliage that matures to burgundy red in fall to earn its name. Long blooming, strong grower adapts to both hot summer and cold winter climates with ease. One customer in northern MN (zone 3) reports it has survived and multiplied there for years under the most adverse conditions. Our plant spacing recommendations are based on how quickly groundcovers will spread in their first season of growth.

Perennial Geranium are always a favorite for its late spring to summer bloom time. Lovely foliage complements the flowers well. Many of the flowers exhibit interesting veining.

All potted plant material is restricted from shipping to Idaho

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
