This is a cross between G. macrorrhizum and G. dalmaticum named by Dr. Peter Yeo, former botanist at Cambridge University Botanic Gardens. The specific name "cantabrigiense' refers to the fact that is was raised at Cambridge, England. Because it spreads slowly by runners, Geranium x catabrigiense has proven to be a very useful low-growing groundcover that is tolerant of a broad spectrum of garden situations. Its dense foliage is seven-lobed, glossy and mostly evergreen.
Early to midsummer. 12 inches x 24 inches
Pinkish Mauve flowers
