The Perennial Geranium nodosum 'Simon', also known as Perennial Nodose Geranium 'Simon', is a good ground cover for dry or wet shade. It offers a long flowering period, from spring to autumn, with open cups of magenta pink. The overall effect is soft and bright, perfect in woodland scenes, welcome in dry or moist soil, between areas of shade and light.
The Perennial Geranium nodosum 'Simon' belongs to the Geraniaceae family. It is a cultivar derived from Geranium nodosum, native to the Pyrenees, Italy, and Yugoslavia. This herbaceous and deciduous perennial, very hardy, forms a 30 cm (12in) tall carpet and spreads thanks to its stolons to a minimum width of 40 cm (16in). Its growth is quite rapid, however, this very beautiful yet rare form develops more slowly than the species. It blooms from late spring to September, with magenta pink flowers in open cups, with petals marked by a notch. The foliage is finely pubescent on the underside, light green and shiny when young, darker later on, deeply cut. The glabrous stems, 20-50 cm (8-20in) long, are strongly swollen at the nodes. This plant with a horizontal, elongated, rather slender stump spreads by underground rhizomes.
This perennial geranium appreciates all shades of the garden, in ordinary, dry or wet soil. Geranium nodosum 'Simon' is an excellent ground cover plant, endowed with great robustness. It will quickly add a colourful touch to exhausted soil under trees, bushes, along facades or north or east-facing alleys, at the base of sunless walls. It will advantageously conceal the base of shade-loving shrubs like Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen', in the company of Tiarella cordifolia with white flower spikes. This plant is a blessing where few plants are willing to grow, such as Symphytum caucasicum and the large periwinkle.

Botanical data
The typical habitat of the Geranium nodosum is the edge of leafy forests, under oak, beech, and chestnut trees. It thrives on limestone and siliceous soils, with a neutral pH, in moderately moist soil. In the garden, it will also adapt to all types of soil and exposures, except for scorching sun. It is not at all afraid of competition from the roots of trees and bushes. This easy-to-care-for plant requires little maintenance.

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).
