Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Cambridge'

Genes (and people that use them for hybridizing) are amazing things. From the dark magenta of G. macrorrhizum and the light pink of G. dalmaticum come these early summer flowers of bright, violet-purple on 6-12" plants. S-PSh/M

Awash in soft bluish rose hues with lighter colored centers, the flowers showcase a unique and highly welcome chroma for this group of Geraniums. Winsome, deep green lobed leaves sculpt an energetic and easy-to-maintain cover that’s compact, nearly evergreen and gleaming all season long.

A blue based pink flowered variety of this dependable, southern European Cranesbill. Neat, slowly spreading mounds of semi-gloss, rounded, deeply divided, fresh green, spicily scented leaves bear an abundance of slightly reflexed, saucer shaped blooms for an extended period as the weather warms. Almost evergreen in warmer areas otherwise winter dormant. Divides readily for cost effective bulk planting but as with most Cranesbills, and other perennials, a year or twos establishment is generally required before they shine. For any reasonably drained soil in a sheltered site. Tolerant of only short periods of dryness. A delight in drifts through a woodland with different coloured G. macrorrhizum cultivars for variations on a theme.
