Thanks to the individuals (Kelly in charge of order preparation and L. L. from the shipping department), the young plants received are in a state of dormancy but appear to be healthy. Once planted, I am now awaiting their spring growth... (or not?).

Description
The 'Vital' evergreen Geranium ibericum forms a round and vigorous clump with cordate and velvety leaves. It produces light bouquets of very bright flowers in intense violet-blue cups with dark blue veins in summer. The semi-evergreen foliage takes on beautiful autumn colours. A sturdy plant, ideal for natural gardens, it thrives in well-drained soil and is not affected by severe winter cold or summer heat.
Geranium ibericum ssp. jubatum 'Vital' belongs to the Geraniaceae family. It is a cultivar derived from Geranium ibericum ssp jubatum, which originates not from Spain, but from northern Turkey. This hardy herbaceous perennial forms a wide and regular dome, reaching a height of 40 cm (16in) and a diameter of 50 cm (20in). Its growth is quite rapid. It blooms in summer, in June-July, with deep ultramarine blue flowers that tend towards violet, marked with even darker blue veins. Each of the 5 petals of the flower is notched. The cup-shaped corollas, grouped in compact cymes, face upwards and measure 4 to 5 cm (2in) in diameter. The foliage is pubescent, round and palmate, divided, semi-evergreen, with a beautiful bright green colour during the growing season and turning reddish-orange in autumn.
Geranium ibericum ssp. jubatum 'Vital' is suitable for all types of gardens, from wild gardens to cottage gardens, sunny slopes, and well-maintained flowerbeds. It grows well in large pots on the terrace or balcony. It pairs well with orange blooms, such as daylilies, Chinese bellflower, Alstroemeria aurantiaca, or the yellow of lady's mantle, and the vibrant foliage of Heuchera 'Caramel'.
Geranium platypetalum, which originates from the same region, is a very similar plant. G.ibericum and G.platypetalum readily hybridise to create the sterile Geranium x magnificum.

Planting and care
This perennial geranium thrives in full sun, and can tolerate partial shade. Plant it in a regular, fertile soil, even if it's alkaline, as long as it's moist and well-drained. It can withstand occasional drought. Clay soil can be improved with the addition of well-rotted compost. Plant it early in spring or in autumn. Water regularly to help the young plants establish. Faded flowers can be cut to encourage reblooming. This low-maintenance plant is easy to care for.

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.
