Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersen's Variety': Bigroot Geranium – Pale Pink Flowers and Fragrant Foliage

Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersen's Variety' – Ingwersen's Variety Bigroot Geranium

Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersen's Variety' is a celebrated cultivar of Bigroot Geranium, selected for its particularly large, clear pale pink flowers and robust habit. Like the species, it forms a dense, weed-smothering mat of aromatic, semi-evergreen, deeply lobed foliage that turns brilliant red in autumn. The thick rhizomes confer exceptional drought tolerance.

This geranium thrives in full sun to deep shade, tolerating dry shade and root competition superbly. It spreads steadily to form a carefree ground cover. The fragrant foliage deters deer. 'Ingwersen's Variety' is a slightly more refined, floriferous selection of an already bulletproof plant. A top-tier choice for the most difficult shaded sites.
