This geranium pleases me for its compact flowers, it's a shame the plant wasn't very large... the planting is going to be more difficult. For that, I'm giving it 3 "cilium".

Description
The Geranium pratense Double Jewel, sometimes called Crane's Beak or Meadow Cranesbill, is a new variety of perennial Geranium that bears exquisite double star-shaped flowers, white with a purple-pink center. Compact and accommodating despite its precious appearance, it is suitable for container cultivation.
Floriferous, generous, and easy to grow, perennial Geraniums have everything to please. 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 Europe, Central Asia, and China, and belonging to the Geraniaceae family, the Geranium pratense Double Jewel has a compact habit, reaching an average height and width of 30 cm (12in). Its flowers are truly unique, star-shaped, they are composed of two rows of petals, with the smaller ones tinted purple-pink towards the center. A beauty that would easily rival the best varieties of Hellebores. It blooms from May to July, but doesn't set any duration records, a small weakness that is easily forgiven given its elegance.
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, without excess.
In the garden, perennial Geraniums can be planted almost anywhere; in rockeries, in a woodland setting with Ferns and Woodrushes, near Roses which they elegantly dress the base of, as a border plant with other varieties of double-flowered Geraniums, and even in containers.

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 fresh, humus-rich, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Easy to grow, they do not require any particular care, but we advise you, from July to September, to remove faded flowers and leaves to encourage new growth. In moist soil, occasional and moderate watering is sufficient, but do not let them struggle 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.
