Big root perennial geranium (Geranium macrorrhizum) is a deer resistant, dense 
groundcover that has fragrant foliage and flowers. It grows to about 12" tall and spreads.

It thrives in full to part shade conditions, even in dry shade. Hardy to zone 5.

Big root flowers in late spring to summer with dainty flowers. It blooms for 4 weeks or
more with flowers that dance in the breeze. Snip off spent flowers to encourage rebloom.
