Description

Geranium nepalense, commonly known as Nepalese Geranium or Himalayan Geranium, is a low-growing, spreading perennial that adds a delicate touch to garden borders, rock gardens, and ground cover plantings. This species is native to the Himalayan region and is known for its soft, mounded foliage and charming, five-petaled pale pink flowers with darker pink veining, which bloom continuously from late spring through early autumn. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils, Geranium nepalense is a low-maintenance plant suitable for naturalized or informal garden styles. Its ability to tolerate moderate drought once established makes it an excellent choice for low-water landscaping. The plant spreads gently by rhizomes, filling spaces without becoming invasive, and its blooms are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Sowing Advice

Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds onto the soil surface without covering, as they require light to germinate. Maintain consistent moisture and a temperature of 15–20°C (59–68°F). Germination typically occurs within 3–4 weeks. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on until conditions are suitable for outdoor planting. Space plants 30–50 cm apart in a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil.
