Description
The Geranium maculatum Chatto, sometimes called Beak of Crane or Maculate Geranium, is a variety of perennial Geranium with abundant foliage and small light pink flowers. Its bushy habit makes it a good ground cover for the base of hedges, roses, or the front of borders.
Flowering, generous, and easy to grow, perennial Geraniums have everything going for them. Especially since, unlike Balcony Geraniums (which are actually Pelargoniums) with which they are sometimes confused, they are perfectly hardy, at least down to -15°C (5°F) and therefore remain in the ground all winter.
Native to North America and belonging to the Geraniaceae family, the Chatto Geranium has a rounded habit, reaching an average height and width of 50 cm (20in). Its medium-sized flowers are a delicate pale pink and emerge above a lovely semi-evergreen, finely cut and fresh green foliage. It blooms in May - June, but if you take the care to remove its faded flowers, it will maintain a beautiful appearance and may even reward you with a second flowering in late summer.
Easy to grow and not very demanding, you can plant it in full sun or partial shade, ideally in humus-rich, moist to slightly wet soil, but without excess.
In the garden, you will always find a small space to plant one or more perennial Geraniums; in a rock garden, in a woodland setting with Ferns and Woodrushes, near Roses that they elegantly dress the base of, along a border with, for example, Lady's Mantle, and even in pots.

Planting and care
Perennial Geraniums settle in the garden during spring or autumn (frost-free period). They are quite tolerant regarding the situation and quality of the soil, although it is ideal to plant them in cool, humus-rich and well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Easy to cultivate, they do not require any particular care, but we advise you to remove faded flowers and leaves from July to September to encourage new growth. In cool soil, occasional and moderate watering is sufficient, but do not let them suffer too much during episodes of intense heat.

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.
