This macrorrhizum Geranium grows on you after a while. The flowers may not be knock out but nevertheless on closer inspection they are indeed very pretty.
An absolute knock out for ground cover and after a few years weeds will be pretty well smothered out. The leaves are extremely aromatic and can be dried and used for pot-pourri.
It just borders on being evergreen, even here in Aberdeen. In late Autumn the leaves turn red and in severe Winters when most of the leaves may be lost some of the rhizomes will be visible on the surface of the ground. Just leave well be, don’t be tempted to start pulling at the rhizomes, come early Spring all will be covered beautifully with fresh green leaves and looking very lush, the pale pink flowers will be abundant in late Spring and early Summer. Received the RHS award of garden merit.
Plant in moderately fertile soil that is free draining, grows well in alkaline or acidic soil. Performance is best in a semi shaded position but will grow in full sun or full shade.
Another very similar variety which we have in our woodland area is macrorrhizum ‘Bevan’s Variety’ this one is planted along side Ingwersens and the only difference is, the flowers are a deeper lilac shade.
Height – 30cm
Width – Will spread up to 1mtr in a couple of years

Do Deer Eat Geraniums? If you have this question in your mind and are planning to grow these flowers, then this is the guide you need!
Martha Washington Geraniums produces vibrant and showy blooms in shades of pink, purple, and white. With proper care and attention, these plants can provide color and beauty to your garden or home for years to come!
You’ve probably grown annual geraniums (in the genus Pelargonium) for years. But those plants are cousins to true geraniums, or perennial geraniums. These under-utilized flowers deserve a place in your garden for their hardiness and beauty. “Perennial geraniums bloom for months, which is unlike many other types of perennials, which typically flower for only a few weeks,” says Kata Kress Wallace, regional product manager for Walters Gardens. “They’re also fast-growing plants that don’t require a lot of care. Even beginners will have success with this plant.”
Few flowers look as good in a pot as these do. They blend handsome foliage with large clusters of show-stopping blossoms in colors of red, pink, rose, salmon, orange, lavender, violet, or white. Although many people use geraniums as bedding plants, we think they perform even better in containers. Read on for geranium container ideas and how to care for these gardener favorites.
If there’s an annual I can’t resist buying each year, it’s zonal geranium (Pelargonium hybrids). The flowers keep coming all season and the colors are fantastic! Of course there’s the classic red bloom but you’ll also find pink, white, lavender, coral, burgundy, orange and salmon in an immense range of shades and patterns. Some are knock-your-socks-off intense — perfect for attracting attention wherever you want. Others are more like Dynamo Salmon above — a peaceful pastel that lends an elegant air wherever it sits. Besides all the flower power, some geraniums have foliage with pretty patterns that look good all season. What’s not to love about this traditional favorite? If geraniums haven’t made it to the top of your must-plant list, keep reading and I’ll show you five reasons
