Drought tolerant, weed resistant, deer resistant, and rabbit resistant, Bevan’s Variety Bigroot Geranium is incredibly low maintenance and extremely hardy; perfect for gardeners developing their green thumb or who don't have as much time as they wish! This vivacious perennial is ideal as a groundcover or as an addition to a cottage-style garden or rock garden in either borders or garden beds.
Bevan's Variety Bigroot Geranium Care
Hardy in zones 3 through 8, this variety of geranium has a height of 8 to 12 inches and a spread of 12 to 24 inches. Plant it in an area with dry to average soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH of 5.8 to 6.5. Take care to loosen the soil when planting this geranium to make room for proper root development. Full sun to partial shade is ideal for this plant, but harsh heat is not; make sure that this plant has partial shade during the hottest parts of the day in the summer to keep it from scorching in hotter climates. Water this geranium after the soil has been dry for a day or two, checking the soil with your finger for moisture. In the winter, control the amount you water this plant to avoid root rot. Use a slow-release flower fertilizer for general growth or a phosphate-rich fertilizer to increase the vibrancy and amount of flowers.
This perennial does not require heavy pruning. Instead, deadhead spent flowers and remove any disease or damaged stems, but leave this plant alone as much as possible.
Bevan's Variety Bigroot Geranium Spacing
Space your geraniums 18 inches apart to account for their full spread of 12 to 24 inches.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
