Latin Name:  Geranium macrorrhizum
Family:  Geraniaceae
Author:  L.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.5   Mature Width:  0.6

Habitat:  Amongst limestone rocks, screes, in woods and scrub to 2100 metres[187]. Shady places, especially in mountains[50].

Propagation Notes: Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division in spring or autumn. Very easy, virtually every bit of a divided plant, whether it has roots or not, will grow away and produce roots[190]. Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
