$8.99
This ground-covering perennial for half shade has aromatic leaves and deep magenta flowers in late spring/early summer. It flowers for a shorter period of time, but its best quality lies in its ability to create a dense, ground-covering mat.
'Bevan's' spreads slowly via rhizomes on and just below the surface of the soil, making it effective at suppressing weeds (plant it in an area free of perennial weeds to give it room to establish). Over time it will form 1.5-2' wide clumps of divided leaves, with the smaller flowers (less than 1" in diameter) hovering above the foliage while blooming.
Rabbits and deer avoid it due to the orange-scented aromatic leaves. Can be planted under black walnut trees. Established plants are quite drought tolerant and can handle heat and humidity well, too.
This is a woodland edge plant (or light deciduous forest plant) and looks best as a groundcover in half shade or a woodland garden. Plant in small groups or medium-sized areas, under the canopy of bigger trees, or in front of groups of shrubs.
This cultivar is also known as Geranium macrorrhizum 'Bevan's Variety' .
Blooming Time: May
Size: 0.75'-1' tall x 1.5-2' wide
USDA Zones: 3 to 7/8
Culture: Half to dappled shade is the best. Prefers average soil, loamy soil, and soils with organic matter or some leafy debris
Moisture Needs: average/medium
Origin: The species is native to Southeastern Europe (Turkey, Balkans); the cultivar was selected by Dr. Roger Bevan in 1961 from a population growing in Yugoslavia (x). It was first introduced and distributed by Washfield Nursery in Kent, England.
Black Walnut Tolerant: yes
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: Goes well with Aster divaricatus, Geranium maculatum, Brunnera, Epimedium, Geum, Helleborus, Hosta, Polygonatum, spring ephemerals and bulbs, and grasses like Carex or Hakonechloa.
