In late spring and early summer plants, are covered with delightful white flowers with pink sepals. Flowering continues sporadically all summer. In fall and winter, foliage displays hues of ruby and russet red. Biokovo Geranium makes an excellent ground cover under trees and in shady nooks. Weeds can’t get through its thick mat of foliage.
