One of the longest and largest flowering of the familyA loveable name for a loveable plant, as Geranium sanguineum ‘Tiny Monster’ is a unique and eye-catching perennial – a must have for any garden.A low-growing, spreading plant, the bright green foliage creates dense cushions of weed suppressing groundcover. In May, buds start to form, each one held on a wiry stem and opens to reveal large, slightly ruffled, deep magenta flowers. Flowering until October and often longer, the nectar-rich flowers are a favourite of pollinators. The foliage is herbaceous, becoming dormant over winter ready to sprout again in the spring. Easy to care for, requiring very little maintenance, it is a great choice for beginner gardeners. Deer, slug and rabbit resistant, it will reach a mature height and spread of up to 50cm. A fully hardy perennial with an RHS rating of H7, Geranium sanguineum ‘Tiny Monster’ will withstand temperatures down to -20 C, and most probably lower, preferring a sunny spot in well-drained soil.
