Geranium sanguineum 'Album' (Bloody cranesbill)
£7.89
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between January 10 and January 12.
Geranium sanguineum ‘Album’ is a low, spreading hardy geranium that produces crisp white flowers over a neat mound of foliage, making it ideal for the front of borders, rock gardens and pots.
Growing to around 15–25cm tall, it forms a weed-suppressing carpet and flowers through early to mid-summer. The foliage often colours attractively later in the season, extending the plant’s interest.
Plant in full sun or light partial shade in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It is tolerant of a wide range of soils once established and suits informal and cottage-style planting.
Water in dry spells during the first season, then only in prolonged drought. Light trimming after the first flush of flowers can encourage a fresh burst of foliage and repeat flowering.
Perfect for edging, groundcover and underplanting, this easy perennial pairs well with roses and grasses, and it is also a pollinator-friendly choice for wildlife gardens.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
