{"product_id":"geranium-cantabrigiense-cambridge","title":"Geranium × cantabrigiense 'Cambridge'","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeranium × cantabrigiense 'Cambridge' is a groundcover cranesbill that forms a low, spreading mound and flowers for a long stretch with bright pink blooms. The foliage is aromatic and stays attractive beyond the flowering period, making it a good “base layer” plant that keeps borders looking finished. Three plants are included, it is ideal for quick coverage along edges or to stitch planting groups together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is happiest where drainage is decent and light is reasonably bright. In very rich soil it can grow softer and more sprawling; in leaner soil and good light it holds a tighter mound and keeps flowering neatly above the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing conditions for Geranium × cantabrigiense 'Cambridge'\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e sun to part shade; more sun usually brings stronger flowering and a denser mat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e ordinary garden soil is fine if it drains; improve heavy winter-wet ground before planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e consistent in the first season; established plants cope with short dry spells but appreciate watering in prolonged drought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e edging, groundcover, underplanting, and planting pockets in gravel or raised beds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting the set of 3\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant as a small group so the mounds join up and read as one groundcover patch.
