Description
Geranium renardii, le géranium de Renard, est une vivace compacte intéressante en premier lieu pour son feuillage décoratif. Cette espèce sauvage caucasienne arbore des feuilles épaisses, plissées et couvertes d’un fin duvet, dont la texture douce rappelle celle de la sauge. Leur couleur gris-vert s’éclaircit et devient encore plus jolie lorsque la plante pousse au soleil dans une terre plutôt pauvre et sèche. La touffe en forme de coussin, régulière, s'étale lentement.
Cette espèce botanique de la famille des Géraniacées est originaire du Caucase ; elle est présente depuis le nord de cette région jusqu’à la Transcaucasie. Cette plante vivace pousse naturellement sous un climat tempéré, dans des milieux ouverts, sur des sols souvent pierreux et bien drainés. Les feuilles basales, arrondies et divisées en lobes peu profonds, présentent une surface finement gaufrée qui lui vaut son nom vernaculaire de géranium à feuilles de crêpe. Le feuillage est caduc : il disparaît en hiver avant de se reformer au printemps. La croissance est assez lente. À maturité, la plante mesure 25 à 30 cm de hauteur pour 35 à 45 cm d’envergure. En juin et juillet, des tiges courtes s’élèvent légèrement au-dessus du feuillage. Elles portent des fleurs simples de 3 cm de diamètre, blanches à mauve très pâle, parcourues de fines nervures violet foncé. La floraison est moins abondante que celle de certains géraniums hybrides modernes, mais son dessin délicat met bien en valeur les feuilles argentées. Les fleurs sont visitées par les insectes pollinisateurs. Facile à cultiver, le Geranium renardii supporte une sécheresse passagère une fois bien enraciné. Sa rusticité atteint –20 °C.
Ce géranium trouve naturellement sa place dans une rocaille, une bordure ensoleillée, un jardin de graviers, sur un talus ou au sommet d’un muret. Son feuillage d'aspect sophistiqué s’intègre aussi bien dans un jardin alpin que dans une scène contemporaine ou une bordure à l’anglaise. Sa croissance lente et son port bas demandent des compagnes peu envahissantes telles que l'Erodium ‘Bishop’s Form’, l’œillet nain Dianthus gratianopolitanus ‘Whatfield Gem’ et l’hélianthème ‘The Bride’. Disposées par petites touffes entre les pierres, ces vivaces offrent des fleurs roses, blanches ou bicolores, accompagnées de feuillages gris, verts ou bleutés. Leurs floraisons s’échelonnent de mai à août.

Planting and care
Geranium renardii is planted from March to May or from September to November, when there is no frost. A sunny position will produce more silvery foliage and the plant will be more compact. Partial shade is also tolerated, especially in areas with very hot summers. It grows in ordinary, poor or moderately fertile soil, stony, sandy or clayey, provided that water does not stagnate in winter. It tolerates acid, neutral or chalky soils. In heavy soil, a slightly raised planting position and the addition of grit improve drainage. Soils that are too rich produce greener, softer and less characteristic foliage. A spacing of 35 to 40 cm, or around six young plants per square metre, allows the clumps to develop without crowding one another. A few waterings are beneficial during the first year. Once established, this geranium copes well with dry spells.
After flowering, removing spent stems and damaged leaves encourages the growth of new foliage. The clump is tidied up at the end of winter. It can be divided in spring when it becomes too wide or less vigorous. The plant is generally healthy and requires little care.

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.
