  • Low growing geraniums

    I somehow only just discovered/noticed low growing geraniums (such as cantabridgiensis/cranesbill). They would make great spreading ground cover in my new garden beds.
    Does anyone know of these low growing types doing anything practical like being edible, having highly scented leaves or something?
    I’ve not found anything but I might be missing something so turn to the wisdom of the forum…

    I'm a big fan of hardy geraniums/cranesbill. One really useful one for ground cover in dry shaded patches is macrorhyzum ( spelling? ). Some hug the ground and others reach up more. Most are various shades of purplish/mauve but there's a near blue one I grew and forgotten name of

      Forgot to say that bonus of most of them is: after flowering, cut right back, feed and water - they should bloom again later in the year
