Geranium cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' problems — and how to fix them
Geranium cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' (Geranium cantabrigiense 'Biokovo') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Slow first-year spread
The mat knits slowly at first. Space plants closer and water well to achieve cover faster.
Rhizome rot in wet ground
Shallow rhizomes rot in waterlogged soil. Provide sharp drainage and avoid heavy, soggy sites.
Single early flush
It flowers mainly once in early summer and does not rebloom after shearing. Grow it for its season-long foliage and autumn colour as well.
Smothering small companions
The vigorous mat can overrun delicate neighbours. Trim its spreading edge back each year where needed.
