Introduce a whimsical charm to your garden with the Double Pink Fairy Erodium Cranesbill. This beautiful alpine geranium, also known as Erodium X variabile ‘Flore Pleno’, is an essential addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces. With soft pink, double-petaled flowers, it mimics the look of miniature roses, making it ideal for fairy gardens, rock gardens, and cottage landscapes.
The Double Pink Fairy Erodium performs best in zones 7-11 but can also thrive indoors, especially during colder months. This low-growing perennial reaches a height of just 3 inches, spreading up to 4 inches wide, making it a perfect ground cover or border plant. From spring through winter, enjoy continuous blooms as long as the plant receives adequate sunlight.
Place the Erodium where it can bask in afternoon sun or more. It prefers well-drained soil and regular watering but can tolerate occasional dryness. During fall, move the plant indoors to protect it from frost and keep it healthy by placing it near a bright, cool window. You can divide and replant the clumps if the plant becomes too large, ensuring it remains vibrant year after year.
This versatile geranium offers the best of both beauty and function, requiring minimal care while delivering maximum impact. Its ability to thrive indoors during winter ensures your home stays green and lively, even when outdoor temperatures drop. Double Pink Fairy Erodium fits seamlessly into any fairy garden, rock garden, or sun-filled windowsill.
