Cultivar of Geranium subcaulescens, a perennial from the Geraniaceae family, originating from the mountainous populations of the Balkans and southern Italy, where the species grows on well-drained rocky slopes and grasslands.
It forms a low and spreading cushion of 10 to 15 cm, with foliage divided into five to seven toothed lobes, medium green to gray-green, slightly hairy.
The flowers reach 3 cm in diameter. Their petals are a bright and vivid magenta, traversed over their entire surface by very numerous and close dark veins that give them a remarkably dense visual texture. The central eye is black, compact, with dark stamens inscribed without an intermediate contrast zone. The petals flare widely with a slightly wavy contour, giving the flower a beautiful openness and a certain presence.
In its natural habitat, flowering extends from June to August. In cultivation, it occurs from May to July.
Full sun, well-drained soil, poor to moderately rich. Drought-resistant once established, it naturally finds its place in rock gardens, on walls, or in gravel gardens.
