Luminous green aromatic foliage creates evergreen mounds, the perfect weed-suppressing groundcover with amazing autumnal colour shades by the end of the season. A tough, easy to grow beauty, which is both low maintenance and undemanding. Geranium cantabrigiense Cambridge, produces red buds and calyces, and like most cantabrigiense varieties, the calyces stay on the plant after the profusion of small lilac-pink blooms have faded.Quickly covering any bare patch, the glossy aromatic foliage is the perfect foil for the nectar rich blooms; so loved by butterflies. Geranium cantabrigiense Cambridge was raised at Cambridge University Botanic Garden in 1974. Geranium cantabrigiense Cambridge reaches a height and spread of approximately 30-50cm, preferring to be grown in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. As a fully hardy perennial she survives even the coldest winters outside for years to come with no winter protection required.
