I have serious doubts about the recovery of the young plants I received... They were stunted; I planted them straight away, but they're disappearing one after another. I'll wait until spring to see if anything shoots up; otherwise, I'll get back to you, because at nearly €10 per young plant (and I bought ten), I'm not going to let this slide.

Description
Geranium pratense 'Laura' is a beautiful improvement of the meadow cranesbill with double flowers, a variety that is floriferous, compact, and easy to control as it does not produce seeds. This perennial forms a beautiful mound of finely cut foliage and bears exquisite pure white and shiny double flowers for several weeks in summer. A lovely ground cover, it highlights borders and fills flower pots, planted in fertile and moist good garden soil, in sun or light shade.
Floriferous, generous, and easy to grow, perennial geraniums have everything to please. 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.
They belong to the Geraniaceae family. Originally from Europe, Central Asia, and China, Geranium pratense is the origin of many cultivars with single or double flowers that are very easy to grow in any good garden soil.
The 'Laura' variety is a pleasant surprise, originating from a mix of meadow cranesbill seeds planted over 20 years ago in a private garden in Cheshire, England. The vigorous plant has a fairly dense habit, reaching an average height of 50cm (20in) with a similar width. Its sparkling white flowers are borne on branched stems. They are cup-shaped, composed of two rows of petals lightly veined with grey-green. Its remarkably abundant and perpetual flowering takes place from June-July to August-September, depending on the climate, with good regularity. The foliage is semi-evergreen to deciduous, composed of small polygonal, finely cut, greyish-green, pubescent leaves, measuring 20cm (8in) long. They appear almost along the entire length of the robust and hairy stems.
Easy to grow and not demanding in nature, this meadow cranesbill tolerates any ordinary soil that is not too dry, and its beauty would easily rival the best varieties of hellebores. In the garden, perennial geraniums can be planted almost anywhere: in rock gardens, in a woodland setting with wood anemones, ferns and woodrushes, near ground cover roses that they elegantly dress, as a border plant with other varieties of double-flowered geraniums, and even in large pots.

Planting and care
Plant during spring or autumn (when there is no risk of frost). They are quite tolerant regarding the situation and quality of soil, although the ideal is to plant them in moist, humus-rich and well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Easy to grow, they do not require any special care, but we advise you to remove faded flowers and leaves from July to September to encourage new growth. In moist 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.
