The Geranium genus is vast, but this particular variety is known as the Crane's Bill. These plants are generally easy to grow and are a great addition to any garden border. They are happy in most conditions, apart from very wet and boggy areas, and their low growth habit makes them ideal for ground cover.
For vigorous varieties, it is recommended to trim back after the first flowering to encourage regrowth and a second flowering. In winter, the plant will die back, but a good mulch will provide all the nutrients it needs to shoot away in the spring.
