Description

Geranium phaeum var. phaeum Samabor is a charming and adaptable woodland Geranium, perfect for drifting through shady borders and even coping with dry shade.

It quickly bulks up into mounds of soft, deeply divided foliage that is spotted with deep maroon markings. This handsome foliage makes excellent weed-suppressing ground cover throughout the year. The maroon spots on the leaves are perfectly matched by masses of velvety maroon flowers that appear in late spring and early summer, the flowers nodding gracefully on slender, upright stalks well above the foliage. Their deep purple colour looks especially effective when contrasted against yellow foliage, such as a golden-leaved heuchera or Carex.

This easy-going Geranium is great for those difficult shady spots such as dry, north-facing borders under a light tree canopy. It also makes a good choice for wildlife-friendly gardens as the flowers provide early food for pollinators. Height: 80cm (31in). Spread: 50cm (20in).

How to Grow
Plant geranium bareroots at the earliest opportunity following delivery. Should soil conditions prevent planting directly into borders (if soil is frozen or waterlogged), perennial geraniums should be potted up, watered sparingly and grown on in a cool position. Choose a sunny or semi shaded position on moist, well drained soil. Work some compost or general fertiliser into the top 20cm of the soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the bareroot with its roots spread out and deep enough that the crown of the plant is just a few cm below soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and firm the plant in gently. Water well to settle the soil.
More Info
Water regularly until fully established. Remove old foliage and faded flower stems throughout the growing season to promote continuous fresh growth. In autumn, cut the foliage back completely. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure to the base of the plant in spring. Lift and divide hardy geranium plants every third year to maintain their vigour.
