Description
The perennial geranium oxonianum 'Sanne' is a small perennial ground cover with dense and compact vegetation and moderately spreading growth. Its long white flowering contrasts wonderfully with its brownish-purple, pleasantly cut and lobed foliage. Hardy and accommodating, it is a very resistant variety that can thrive with rainfall in summer, not too dry soil, and a sunny or semi-shaded exposure. It will cover the ground of a flower bed, creep between rocks in a rockery, or border a pot on the terrace.
The perennial geranium oxonianum 'Sanne' belongs to the Geraniaceae family. It is likely the result of cross-breeding between G. sessiliflorum 'Nigricans', native to the high mountains of New Zealand, a beautiful black and prostrate cushion, and G. x oxonianum. The latter is itself a hybrid between G. endressii, a very robust, deciduous, spreading ground cover from the Pyrenees, and G. versicolor, a taller, evergreen Italian variety that tolerates relative drought. This recent hybrid combines and gathers the qualities of all its ancestors. It forms a barely 20 cm (8in) high ground cover that spreads up to 40 cm (16in) or more under optimal conditions. It has both compact and spreading vegetation. Between May and August-September, it displays numerous open funnel-shaped flowers, pendulous and white veined with grey. Its leaves are villous, slightly plicate and lobed, with visible veins and divided into five lobes. The evergreen foliage is beautiful, brownish-purple with a hint of green. Sometimes in autumn, it takes on an orange hue reminiscent of the foliage of certain heucheras.
This perennial geranium is an original and easy-to-grow ground cover that will find its place in rockeries, perennial or low shrub flower beds, along pathways, on slopes, or in large pots on the terrace. It pairs well with liverworts, columbines, peonies, and even ferns in moist soil. In drier soil, it can be associated, for example, with small periwinkles, the silver foliage of artemisias, or to cover the base of a 'Cuisse de Nymphe Emue' rose.

Planting and care
The perennial Geranium oxonianum 'Sanne' is a hardy plant, accommodating and easy to grow, undoubtedly one of the most resistant varieties among the oxonianum. However, it prefers well-drained and rather moist soils, even though it tolerates occasional drought which will reduce its flowering and vegetation somewhat. Plant it in a sunny or, at worst, semi-shady position. Prune it back after flowering to promote new growth, prune heavily in July to renew the foliage and stimulate the reblooming of the flowers.

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.
