Description

Erodium x variabile ‘Bishops White’ is a brilliant, charming but punchy little alpine that is closely related to geraniums and pelargoniums. It has low-growing mounds of subtly divided evergreen grey-green foliage that stays neat and compact, even as it spreads when happy. In late spring and early summer masses of small, gem-like five-petalled white flowers emerge above the foliage, each flower deeply veined and held tidily above the foliage so they catch the light. Once the main show of flowers is over, the plant will sporadically flower throughout the rest of summer and into autumn, in our experience, but the foliage will stay looking neat and green throughout.

These established, garden-ready plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in 1 litre containers (the price is for two of these plants). They will grow to an ultimate height of about 20cm and a spread of around 50cm.

Growing Advice

Erodiums are great for any situation where you’d plant alpines, and work well in pots or as edging plants. They are reliable and easy to grow – though like most alpines will flourish where they have well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. Once the main flowering is over you can tidy up any spent flower-heads, though for the most part we find this unnecessary.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
