Geranium macrorrhizum 'Spessart' - Hardy White-Flowering Ground Cover (40-Pack)
Geranium macrorrhizum 'Spessart' is a semi-evergreen perennial ground cover featuring bright white flowers and attractive green foliage that transforms with beautiful fall color. This bigroot geranium variety quickly forms a dense, weed-suppressing carpet, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, and challenging garden areas.
Key Features
This hardy cranesbill produces delicate white to pale pink flowers from late spring through early summer (May-June), held on sturdy stems above aromatic, deeply lobed foliage. The rounded leaves release a pleasant fragrance when brushed or crushed, adding sensory interest to your garden. In fall, the foliage develops stunning red and orange tones before winter.
Growing Specifications
Height: 10-25cm (4-10 inches) | Spread: Forms dense mats up to 60cm wide per plant | Supplied in 9cm recyclable growing pots. With 40 plants, you can cover approximately 10-12 square meters with proper spacing (25-30cm apart), creating effective ground coverage that suppresses weeds naturally.
Versatile Growing Conditions
Geranium 'Spessart' thrives in both full sun and partial shade, with exceptional tolerance for dry shade where many plants struggle. This drought-tolerant perennial adapts to various soil types including clay, loam, and sandy conditions, requiring only well-drained soil to perform optimally. Once established, it requires minimal watering and maintenance.
Ideal Garden Applications
Perfect for border edging, rock gardens, woodland settings, slopes, and areas under trees or shrubs. The mat-forming habit stabilizes soil while creating an attractive, low-maintenance solution for difficult planting areas. Deer and rabbit resistant, this geranium also attracts pollinators including bees and butterflies.
Care & Maintenance
Extremely low-maintenance. Remove spent flower stems to maintain neat appearance. No heavy pruning required. Plants spread via rhizomes to form dense coverage. Divide congested clumps in spring if needed. Tolerates hot summers better than most geranium species.
