Know before you buy
Since the Geranium Biokovo reaches a mature spread of about 2.5 feet, you should space them approximately 2 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation while still achieving a full, mounded look.
It is classified as semi-evergreen, meaning it will retain some foliage in milder climates. In colder regions, the leaves may die back or turn bronze before returning in the spring.
No, it is very low maintenance. Its natural mounding habit keeps it tidy on its own, so you only need to remove any dead or damaged foliage in early spring to encourage fresh growth.
It performs beautifully in containers. Its compact size and trailing habit make it an excellent choice for pots, provided you use a well-draining potting mix.
Yes, this plant is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 8. It is well-adapted to cold winters, though it will appreciate a layer of mulch in the coldest zones to protect the roots.
It is quite versatile and will bloom in both full sun and partial shade. While it thrives in full sun, providing a bit of afternoon shade in hotter climates will help keep the foliage looking its best throughout the summer.
