Biokovo geraniums, also known as Geranium x cantabrigiense ‘Biokovo’, are a lovely addition to any garden or landscape. These plants typically grow to be about 6-12 inches tall and spread out to about 12-18 inches wide. They have a gentle spreading habit, thanks to their underground stems, which allows them to fill in garden spaces and create a beautiful ground cover effect.
In my personal experience, I have found Biokovo geraniums to be quite versatile in terms of their growth. They can adapt well to different soil types and lighting conditions, although they do prefer a location with partial shade to full sun. I have seen them thrive in areas with dappled sunlight as well as those with more direct sunlight.
One of the great things about Biokovo geraniums is their ability to spread gently. They have underground stems, also known as rhizomes, which allow them to gradually fill in gaps in the garden. This can be especially useful if you are looking to create a low-maintenance ground cover or fill in areas between other plants.
When it comes to caring for Biokovo geraniums, they are relatively low-maintenance. They are drought-tolerant once established and do not require excessive watering. However, it is important to ensure they have well-drained soil to prevent waterlogged roots.
In terms of appearance, Biokovo geraniums have delicate pink flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. These blooms add a pop of color to the garden and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The foliage is semi-evergreen, meaning it will retain its leaves throughout the year in milder climates. However, in colder regions, the leaves may die back during the winter months.
Biokovo geraniums are a wonderful choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of beauty and versatility to their outdoor spaces. Their compact size and gentle spreading habit make them suitable for various garden styles, from formal to cottage gardens. Whether used as a ground cover or as part of a mixed planting scheme, these geraniums are sure to enhance the overall aesthetic of any landscape.
