I am disappointed, the young plants are very small: 3 leaves with a height of 3 cm (1in), we will see if they recover.

Description
The perennial Geranium cinereum 'Jolly Jewel™ Violet' is one of the latest creations from the lovely Jolly Jewel series, which brings together a beautiful collection of flowering plants with vibrant colours. Its cup-shaped flowers, in a vibrant pink-purple shade highlighted by a large heart of incandescent purple, bloom all summer long on a cushion of finely cut leaves in a slightly greyish green, even in rocky and poor soil. Plant this small perennial among the rocks in your rock garden, on slopes, and in poor, well-drained soil. It also thrives in a beautiful pot on the terrace!
The perennial Geranium cinereum is a member of the Geraniaceae family. It is native to grassy slopes in mountains from Southern Europe to the Balkans. The 'Jolly Jewel Violet' variety is a very recent introduction. It is part of a series of geraniums developed from this species, bred in the Netherlands by Marco van Noort. These cultivars stand out for their long-lasting, vibrant, unusual, and varied flowering.
'Jolly Jewel Violet' is an herbaceous perennial plant with a woody base that forms a cushion 15 cm (6in) tall and at least 20 cm (8in) in diameter. Its growth is quite rapid, reaching full development in two or three years. The semi-evergreen foliage forms a rosette. It consists of deeply lobed and divided leaves, 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, in a dark green colour with greyish hints, and feels quite soft to the touch. Flowering occurs from June to September if the soil does not dry out too much, and consists of 3 cm (1in) diameter flowers in open cups. They display a beautiful combination of pink and purple-red. The flowers are clustered in groups of 2 or 3, carried above the foliage by 20 cm (8in) stems. This geranium slowly spreads, without ever becoming invasive.
Like all its siblings from the Jolly Jewel series, the perennial Geranium cinereum 'Jolly Jewel Violet' will find its place in rock gardens, at the front of perennial borders, in sunny borders, and in partial shade in the afternoon. It will also look stunning in a well-drained pot or container. It pairs well with plants that have similar needs, such as the perennial geraniums renardii or dalmaticum, Iberis, Limonium, Asters dumosus, Nepeta mussinii, and whorled Coreopsis. It is an ideal perennial for mountain gardens and highly mineral landscapes.

Planting and care
Plant the perennial Geranium cinereum Jolly Jewel Violet in a perfectly well-drained soil, even rocky and slightly chalky, but not too dry in summer to support the flowering. It tolerates poor soils and dreads stagnant moisture in winter, which sometimes causes its roots to rot. It requires a very sunny exposure in the morning but partially shaded in the afternoon to flower well and maintain a compact habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
