Geranium 'Little Gem'
A compact and endearing hardy geranium that truly deserves its name, reaching a diminutive height of just 15-20 cm. This charming cultivar forms neat, tight mounds of small, deeply divided foliage that provide year-round interest in the garden. The leaves are finely cut and dark green, creating an attractive carpet even when the plant is not in bloom.
From late spring onwards, 'Little Gem' produces a profusion of dainty pink flowers that sit beautifully above the foliage. Each bloom features fine, delicate veining and brings a soft touch to the garden palette. The flowering period extends through summer, with regular deadheading encouraging fresh flushes of blooms.
Perfect for the front of borders, rock gardens, or as an edging plant, this miniature hardy geranium excels in both sun and partial shade. Its compact nature and reliable growth habit make it an excellent choice for containers, small gardens, and alpine troughs, where its diminutive size can be fully appreciated.
