Cranesbill, Hardy Geranium
I received an extremely frail plant, a branch (the only one) crushed by the packaging. I'm worried about its survival and I don't have much hope for its recovery. What a disappointment!

Description
The perennial Geranium clarkei 'Kashmir Pink', or Clarke's Geranium 'Kashmir Pink', is a perennial and spreading plant with deeply lobed leaves. It has cup-shaped flowers in summer and September, bright candy pink with red veins. Very finely cut foliage, semi-evergreen. A fast-growing plant forming beautiful ground cover, suitable for all exposures, in moist but well-drained soil.
Geranium clarkei 'Kashmir Pink' belongs to the Geraniaceae family. This rhizomatous perennial has a spreading habit. The type species G.clarkei Yeo is native to the western Himalayas in India, where it grows in mountain meadows in Kashmir. It will reach a height of 45 cm (18in), with a spread of up to 60 cm (24in). It has rapid growth. The flowering, honey-producing and nectar rich, lasts all summer, from June to September, with a break during the hottest days of July-August. The bloom is a compound cyme of round, open flowers, fresh pink with red veins. The flowers have a translucent texture reminiscent of crepe paper and measure 4 cm (2in) in diameter. The fruits are long and slender, opening to project the seeds further.This geranium has deciduous to semi-evergreen foliage, composed of leaves divided into seven lobes, medium green, measuring 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6in) in length, with each lobe deeply divided into narrow, pointed segments. It forms a non-invasive ground cover.
Geranium clarkei 'Kashmir Pink' is ideal for borders, in front of beds of plants or bushes with not too shallow roots. Perennial geraniums offer a good solution to prevent the proliferation of weeds. This is particularly interesting for the base of roses: from the year following planting at a rate of one plant every 60 cm (24in), the entire space between and under the rose bushes will be filled with flowers and foliage but without hindering the growth and flowering of the roses.

Planting and care
Preferably plant Geranium clarkei 'Kashmir Pink' in the autumn, or otherwise in the spring, in fertile, well-drained, well-worked, humus-rich soil that retains moisture (although it does tolerate short periods of drought). It dislikes stagnant moisture but can tolerate some limestone. In poor soil, add organic fertiliser or well-decomposed compost at the start of the growing season. This geranium adapts to all exposures except for scorching sun and dense shade. In flower beds, maintain a spacing of at least 50 cm (20in) between plants. In the height of summer, lightly prune faded stems and leaves to encourage reblooming. In spring, when the first buds appear, prune to rejuvenate the plant and divide any large clumps.

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.
