Bevan’s Variety Cranesbill Geranium macrorrhizum ‘Bevan’s Variety’

A tough and highly adaptable groundcover, Bevan’s Variety cranesbill is prized for its fragrant, lobed green foliage and vibrant magenta-pink flowers. The blooms appear in late spring to early summer, creating a bright, cheerful display above the dense, spreading foliage. When brushed or crushed, the leaves release a pleasant herbal scent, adding another layer of garden interest.

This variety thrives in a wide range of conditions, from sun to shade, and is especially valued for its ability to perform in dry shade once established. It forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat that makes it ideal for underplanting trees, edging, and naturalized areas. Low maintenance and reliable, it is a go-to choice for difficult planting sites.
