25 Czakor Geranium Seeds | Geranium macrorrhizum | Pink Hardy Perennial Ground Cover

Czakor Geranium (Geranium macrorrhizum) is a hardy perennial ground cover prized for its aromatic foliage and cheerful pink flowers. This low-growing geranium forms a dense mat of rounded, scented leaves that turn attractive shades in autumn. In late spring to early summer, clusters of bright pink flowers rise above the foliage, attracting pollinators. It is an excellent choice for garden borders, rock gardens, and slopes, and it naturalizes well to create a weed-suppressing carpet.

Easy to grow and low-maintenance, Czakor Geranium thrives in a range of conditions, making it a reliable performer in temperate gardens. Its tolerance for dry shade and poor soil makes it a versatile plant for challenging spots.

Planting & Care

Sow Czakor Geranium seeds indoors in late winter or early spring. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven; stratification (cold treatment) for 2-4 weeks may improve results. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in a cool, bright location. Harden off before planting outdoors after the last frost.

Space plants 18-24 inches apart in well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, Czakor Geranium is drought tolerant and requires minimal care. Trim back after flowering to encourage fresh foliage growth. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
