An undemanding, semi-evergreen ground cover with attractively divided, aromatic foliage, that may take on seasonal colour in autumn.

In early to midsummer, this rhizomatous perennial will also produce an abundance of small, pure white flowers.

Geranium macrorrhizum 'White-Ness' is a very pretty perennial for the woodland floor or for areas of naturalised planting.


  • Garden care:
    This tough, low-maintenance perennial thrives in a range of garden conditions, including dry shade and poor soils, once established.

    When planting, choose a site with well-drained soil in partial shade to full sun, and incorporate organic matter to improve soil structure.

    Water regularly until established, but once settled, this geranium becomes more drought-tolerant and requires lower maintenance.

    Avoid hoeing around the plant, as its surface-growing rhizomes can be easily damaged—weed by hand instead. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and lightly trim back foliage after flowering to keep plants looking tidy.

    In autumn or early spring, divide congested clumps to rejuvenate growth and spread the plant to other areas of the garden. A light mulch of compost or leaf mould in spring will support healthy foliage and flowering.
