Beautiful young plant that will be quickly transplanted into a border - out of the three, one doesn't have leaves but it's a perennial, so we'll have to wait... there are roots - thank you for all your lovely produce -

Description

The Riversleaianum 'Russel Prichard' perennial Geranium, also known as 'Russel Prichard' perennial Geranium, forms a persistent, ground-covering plant with velvety, dentate, silver-grey foliage and offers a constantly renewed flowering, brilliant, with tubular magenta-pink corollas, from early summer to autumn. It is a plant to be used without moderation, with well-deserved success, both very beautiful and easy to cultivate in not too harsh climates.

 

The Riversleaianum 'Russel Prichard' perennial Geranium belongs to the Geraniaceae family. This hybrid is the result of cross-breeding between Geranium endressii, native to the Pyrenees, and Geranium traversii, originating from the cliffs of the Chatham Islands, located off the coast of New Zealand, bathed by the South Pacific. From its first parent, it inherited better hardiness, floribundity and robustness, while the second one bequeathed its velvety, silver-grey, evergreen foliage. This pretty ground-covering plant, 25 cm (10in) in height, spreading over at least 50 cm (20in), has a slightly loose, spreading habit, while forming a silver dome of silver-grey, slightly velvety and well-cut leaves. The flowers bloom from June until the first frosts. They are delicate and elegant, bright magenta-pink, and veined to attenuate their brightness.

 

Ideally, plant the 'Russel Prichard' perennial Geranium in a sunny, well-drained location, in low borders or as ground cover. To accompany its flowering until the winter, it can be paired with Aster 'Mönch' or Coreopsis 'Moonbeam'. It is superb for bordering a sunny pathway, in a cool rockery, at the base of clematis. It can even be adopted in a large pot or hanging basket.

Planting and care

The perennial geranium riversleaianum 'Russel Prichard' grows in ordinary, limestone, sandy, humus-rich soil. It appreciates sunny locations, tolerates partial shade but dreads dense shade that hampers its floribundity and hardiness. It fears competition from bush roots. From its relationship with G. traversii, it has inherited a certain sensitivity to cold, and it thrives best in a rather gravelly or sandy, well-drained soil. In colder regions, it has the greatest chance of surviving winter frosts in a protected spot, such as against a wall.
