Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial, forming cushions of slightly fragrant, fresh green foliage. In early summer it bears masses of the palest pink flowers, with contrasting deep pink stamens. Like all cranesbills, its blooms are extremely attractive to bees. In autumn its leaves turn wonderful shades of orange and red, giving it a long season of interest.

Grow Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to full shade. Cut back flowers after blooming to encourage a second flush. Slightly evergreen, you may wish to remove old leaves before new growth begins in spring.
